AssociatesOur financial representatives have an incredible opportunity to positively impact people’s lives - the lives of their clients, their families and those in their communities. They take this responsibility seriously and so do we. We provide them with the training and support they need to ensure their success, but we know it is their productive work ethic, strong relationship skills and professionalism that make them extraordinary. Thad BakerFinancial Representative After almost 10 years with a major health insurer, Thad decided that in addition to health insurance solutions, he wanted to be in a position to offer his clients more of the personal and professional products and services they needed. Initially, Thad looked at several different brokerage companies, but in the end, after much research, he decided that there was only one company whose culture suited him best. In 2004, he signed on with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, and is proud to represent the “policyowners' company” in the central Pennsylvania region. Although most of Thad’s non-work time is taken up playing with and chasing after his three very energetic children, he is very involved in several ministries at his church. In those few moments he gets to himself, he can usually be found on the golf course, the basketball court, or in the water fishing.
