Planning Team

Professional

Dan has been working with Northwestern Mutual since 2002, before the founding of Lagerborg & Associates in 2005. He oversees setting the Vision for the firm and protecting our ideals of safety and sophistication. Dan also enjoys coordinating new relationships with Lagerborg & Associates, ensuring that they find us to be a safe and sophisticated place in which they can take care of that which is most important to them. Outside of work, he is surrounded by three energetic and dynamic women: his wife Steph and two daughters, Adeline and Ellie. As a family, they love to garden, get outside and play sports at their home, Woolly Hill Farm in Old Littleton.

Calling oneself a professional doesn't really make one a professional. As a Northwestern Mutual Financial Advisor, professionalism is defined not only by the measure of one's experience, education and accreditation, but by one's character and professional standard of practice in supporting clients as a trusted financial expert.

Through personal commitment, professional associations, accreditations and continuing education, I have worked hard to establish a reputation as a respected professional and to gain the trust of clients. Please take a moment to review my experiences and accomplishments.

Favorite part of working at Lagerborg & Associates: The people! From our clients to our team I get to interact with a great group of hard working, intentional, and charitable people on a daily basis.

Best financial advice you’ve ever received: Spend less than you make. Utilize debt sparingly - and only on investments or accretive assets.
