That’s why our approach is built on trust, integrity, and a clear vision for the future. From funding a child’s education to securing a fulfilling retirement or creating a legacy that spans generations, we provide the clarity, confidence, and resources to make financial well-being a reality. Every decision, every plan, and every conversation is rooted in our mission to empower and protect what matters most to our clients.

Happy birthday to two of our founding DWE Generations partners, Cody Eiler - Northwestern Mutual and Russell Walton - Northwestern Mutual, who not only share a birthday, but have shared nearly two decades of friendship, brotherhood, and now, bold leadership.

From college roommates to business partners, they’ve built a thriving practice and a culture where people come first and purpose drives every decision.

Their story is a powerful reminder that when you lead with integrity, trust, and belief in each other, careers evolve, lives change, and legacies are born.

Here’s to two men who continue to show up for their clients, their teams, and each other. You’ve set the tone, and we’re better for it.

📸 Enjoy these gems from the archives!

Happy Birthday, Cody and Russell 🎉

Anytime we can connect golf with a greater purpose, we’re in!

Last month, we attended NM Lincoln’s First Annual Master’s Scramble to raise awareness for childhood cancer, with proceeds benefiting Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation 🍋⛳️

Already looking forward to teeing it up again next year!

Celebrated the 33rd Annual NM Kentucky Derby Party on Saturday and what a race to witness 🐎🌹

DWE Generations also earned a Winners Circle finish for Lincoln ensembles, submitting over half the total lives written in the month of April.

Thank you to Adrian and team for their energy leading up to derby day and to the Kruse family for hosting another run for the roses!

Happy May Day 🌸

We had some sneaky, special guests stop by early this morning, delivering May Day baskets before school and the start of the workday.

Fun to see traditions like this carried on and honored they included us!

Network Day 🎈

Nebraska teams came together for updates from leadership, perspective on supporting and connecting with women in our industry, and time with colleagues across the state. We closed the day recognizing CFO, Cari Brown’s impact and legacy. We’re grateful for all she’s given this organization and wish her the very best in retirement!

💡 Our biggest takeaway came from the Home Office: the need for strong, well-built firms has never been greater. As more families, especially baby boomers, begin transitioning their legacy, the opportunity to step in with clarity and guidance is right in front of us.

Which is exactly how we’ve built DWE Generations 🤝🏼 We are committed to stewarding our clients’ legacies by delivering continuity, seamless transitions, and steadfast guidance that endures well beyond any one advisor or lifetime.

If legacy is on your mind, now’s the time to start the conversation ⬇️

When you’ve got the right people, the rest tends to fall into place 👏🏼

Today, we celebrate Employee Appreciation Day and the people who make our work possible: the thinkers, planners, builders, and solvers behind the scenes.

Our team shows up each day with a shared commitment to the people, families, and businesses we serve, helping them plan confidently for the long game. From client support and planning to operations, marketing, and everything in between, it takes a lot of talent and heart to keep this work moving forward.

We’re so grateful for each individual and proud of the team we get to do this work with every day.

Sweethearts & Sushi 🍣

Last night was a chance to give thanks and show appreciation to those who make our work so meaningful. A room filled with love, incredible food, and conversations that carried long after the plates were cleared. The energy was effortless and the company even better.

To everyone who joined us: thank you for making it such a memorable night! You are the heart of what we do and that honor is never lost on us 🙏🏼

Biggest birthday wishes to John Ruhl today 🥳

If you know John, you know.. what you see is exactly what you get. Genuine. Grounded. Pure in the best, rarest way. He shows up fully, stands firm for his people, and would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought.

John, your authenticity is a gift to everyone lucky enough to know you. Here’s to another year ahead 🎉
