Office Profile

Financial Representatives with Northwestern Mutual – Denver offer access to world-class insurance services and internationally recognized investment products, including investments, estate analysis, retirement analysis, education funding, employee benefits and insurance.

Scott Theodore, a petroleum engineer by degree, had relocated from his native Ohio to build his future in the oil business. Everything looked promising until there was a downsizing. At the time, a career in the insurance and financial industry wasn't even remotely on his radar.

Fortunately, former Managing Partner, Mike McKeever was the teacher, and the student was ready. "Mike saw that while I probably wouldn't lead the network office in production, my future was in leadership."

Scott credits his parents, both educators, for his drive to excel. Among the evidence of that drive, Theodore completed a half-year of college during high school and earned two college degrees in four years. "Before I attended college, I always thought I'd be an educator and a coach like my father, but school led me down a technical path. In January 1991, Mike put me in a leadership role, coaching new representatives. I realized I had come full circle."

Scott Theodore's accelerated career trajectory took him to field director in 1992. Two years later, he spun out a scratch district network office with four representatives, which he grew to 18 financial representatives.

The heart of the matter
Monica Covert-Kerber, the Denver network office's chief selection officer, said, "Scott Theodore is the kind of person who inspires you to think bigger and better and even move quicker when you are around him. He's truly contagious."

Theodore explained, "I believe in people and challenge them to create a vision of what they can become. My strength is in getting to the heart of the matter."

Scott Theodore also teaches his representatives about life balance. "My philosophy is 'Quality time at work, quantity time with my family.' I preach that."

Scott strongly believes that a key ingredient in life balance is giving back to his community, and he serves on the board of the Rocky Mountain Youth, a non-profit organization providing health care for indigent and uninsured children in Colorado. He also finds time to coach soccer and baseball, and he sings in his church choir.

On his role as Managing Partner, Scott says, "I mutually select and develop new Financial Representatives into this business in which there is nothing more rewarding than watching a Financial Representative grow personally and professionally as they make a difference in the lives of others."

This Network Office has been active since 1971.
