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.

Without a blueprint, no pile of bricks or stack of lumber can become a house. In the same way, long-term financial success begins with a clear, well-developed plan. I equip my clients, through comprehensive financial planning, to build on their current assets and take strides toward their optimal financial future.

Before I became a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual, I served in the U.S. Army as a combat arms officer until retiring as Lieutenant Colonel. Now, my extensive military planning experience informs my financial advising approach. I always start with the end goal in mind. At the beginning of our time together, I ask my clients to describe their ideal futures. I am firmly committed to understanding my clients’ hopes and dreams from the outset. Once we have established a clear picture of where they want to go, I can then align the right tools and resources to architect a plan for their unique goals and dreams. 

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I have met rigorous training requirements in 72 areas of financial expertise, have accrued thousands of hours of experience prior to earning the certification, and am held to high standards of ethics. As a CFP®, I must make recommendations that are in our client’s best interest. 

Our team provides guidance for a broad range of life stages and objectives. I am passionate about helping professionals who are considering, or nearing retirement, navigate the complexities of managing their resources after they leave the workforce. As a practice, our core competencies center around the wealth distribution phase of financial management. 

If you are looking to gain a big-picture plan for your financial future, let’s have a conversation.
