I started my career in 1979 as a college intern with Northwestern Mutual. I converted to a full time Financial Representative in 1982. Fast forward, 41 years later, and I am a CLU, Wealth Management Advisor, and partner with Myklebust, Horne and Fies (MHF) Financial Group; Northwestern Mutual.

Working with my partners and our group in Mequon, Myklebust, Horne and Fies is able to offer many opportunities to assist our clients with their financial planning process. Our team is very instrumental in helping us give clients the most accomplished and thorough financial preparation, and to build strong, diverse portfolios designed to weather all market conditions.

My wife, Linda, and I live in Mequon and have three adult children. At some point or another we have all been a part of the Northwestern Mutual family. Our oldest, Ashley, has followed in my footsteps and is a Financial Representative, and has her own practice with Northwestern Mutual, in Los Angeles California. Our youngest, Christie, is an Associate Wealth Management Advisor with Myklebust, Horne and Fies Financial Group, and David Jr., is in sales with SES Imotag, and was an NM college Intern. Linda was a Financial Representative before we started our family.

Linda and I love to travel and spend as much time as possible at our Log Cabin in St. Germain, Wisconsin. We love being outdoors hiking, biking, boating, skiing and snowmobiling. There’s no place we’d rather be than outside! We support, and are involved, in many Local Charities. We feel that we have been very blessed and it is our privilege and responsibility to share what we have been given with others.
