“We’re proud of financial professionals like Mike who are helping so many people in their community to achieve financial security,” said Northwestern Mutual President Greg Oberland. “Our 2014 Planning & Progress Study shows that ‘personal finances’ is one of the top two priorities for Americans in 2014, ahead of things like ‘spending time with family and friends’ and ‘career.’ Many are seeking out professionals like Mike to develop distinct financial plans that stand the test of time.”

Northwestern Mutual recognized D’Aquila at its 134th Annual Meeting, held in Milwaukee, Wis. D’Aquila joins an exclusive group of financial professionals across the country who have achieved this recognition.

“I am grateful to my clients who have placed their trust and confidence in me,” said Michael V. D’Aquila. “I joined Northwestern Mutual’s McTigue Financial Group because it has a culture that lives up to values like accountability, integrity and growth, and exemplifies that by doing what is in the best interest of our clients.”
