In 2006, Steve Braun celebrated 20 years of service with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and The McTigue Financial Group. Steve joined the network office in 1986 and was awarded Representative of the Year for The McTigue Financial Group in 1993 and 2003.

Managing Partner, John McTigue offers these comments about Steve: "In an era when Financial Representatives come and go, Steve has shown amazing stability, because he learned early in his career that to succeed in this business he had to earn a client's trust, understand a client's needs, and put a client's interests first to design appropriate, individualized solutions. Nobody does that better than Steve."


Charlie Cunningham

Financial Representative

After graduating from Denison University, with a BA in German and Political Science, Charlie Cunningham began his career as a consultant with Accenture. During his time with Accenture, Charlie worked with numerous Fortune 500 companies across the country.

Charlie realized that the consultant lifestyle would not allow him to spend the amount of quality time with his family he desired. This led him to make a career change to an occupation that would give him the balance between work and personal life that he desired. Charlie became a Financial Representative with The McTigue Financial Group in October of 2001 and has loved every moment since.

Gregg Neiman

Financial Representative

Gregg Neiman became a Financial Representative in 1982. He previously worked in commercial real estate brokerage and condominium conversions. When commenting on his former career, Gregg says, "I was very good at transactional business deals, but not very good at getting paid."

As a Financial Representative, Gregg has provided expert assistance to highly compensated executives and business owners seeking to keep businesses and estates intact for future generations, retain key employees and transfer the risks of living too long, premature death or becoming unexpectedly disabled.

Gregg's sole objective with every client is to get the facts, apply extensive professional resources, practice the Golden Rule and tell the truth straight from the heart. In his own words, Gregg says, “I take great pride in leaving people better than I found them. Helping people to achieve financial security is a noble life's work.


Ben Voigt

Financial Advisor

Prior to joining Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, Ben Voigt, CLU, CFP® worked in consulting at Accenture. The path he saw was one of selling your soul to the company for the money. Ben wanted more control over his career and joined The McTigue Financial Group in 2001.

He offers his insights on the career: "I enjoy the variety in my day and the interaction with many different people."

"Keeping the vision of what you are trying to build in the face of adversity and rejection can be hard. It can be a challenge dealing with the ups and downs of client building. It can be a roller coaster. There are many highs and lows. I've learned that I have a lot more determination than I thought I ever had. "

Adam Waitzman joined The McTigue Financial Group in 2002, after graduating on the Dean's List from University of Illinois at Chicago.
