The Road to The Beer Financial Group.

 Mitchell Beer began his career with Northwestern Mutual in 1989 as a part of the Princeton New Jersey as a freshly minted Trenton State College (now College of New Jersey) graduate. "I was really attracted to all the things a career with Northwestern Mutual could offer me. I liked the independence of running my own practice, and knowing that my career would be helping people."   

Mitchell successfully built his financial service practice and in 1994 he began his leadership path as a College Unit Director for the internship program, since then Mitchell has held every position on the management track.  After his college unit team took second place company honors in 1996, Mitchell was then appointed to Field Director.

Mitchell's seven years as Managing Director stand out as an experience that put the final polish on his career and prepared him for the Managing Partner position, "That time prepared me really well for my new position,” says Mitchell. “It added the final touches of experience and insight. I've now dealt with everything from compliance issues, to setting up office space, to personal production, and feel that I'm ready to engage new opportunities, and face them head on." Through his financial representative career, Mitchell Beer earned nine National Quality Awards, qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table six times, won the Network's Growth Award five times, and took home three Network OARS awards.
