Impacting Lives Today and for Future Generations
Financial compatibility isn't really about the numbers—it's about whether you can talk to your partner about them. 💬 HelloPrenup founder Julia Rodgers has the simplest place to start. Share three numbers this week: what you earn, what you owe, what you're saving. How you handle that conversation tells you everything. If you're ready to build on it, I'd love to help. Let's connect.

We are excited to announce that Kyle Billings has been appointed Managing Director of the Santa Monica District Network Office.
Kyle began his journey with Northwestern Mutual in January 2022, where he quickly distinguished himself as a high-impact leader. Within a short period, he advanced into leadership roles of increasing responsibility, including Director of New Advisor Development and College Unit Director, while continuing to successfully manage his own advisory practice. Throughout his tenure, Kyle has consistently driven strong performance, supported advisor development, and contributed to meaningful growth across recruiting, training, and overall office success.
Originally from North Carolina, Kyle is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Journalism) and holds an MBA from Pepperdine University with a concentration in Marketing. His unique career path includes roles with the Moët Hennessy Champagne Portfolio and as Director of Marketing for an Australian non-alcoholic spirits brand. He is also an Advanced Sommelier—one of fewer than 700 worldwide.
Driven by a desire to make a greater impact, Kyle transitioned into financial planning, where he now helps clients and advisors build enduring financial legacies.
Kyle resides in Culver City with his wife Kristin and daughters Charlotte and Brooklyn and is currently pursuing his CFP designation.
Please join us in congratulating Kyle and welcoming him to this well-deserved role. We are confident that his vision, dedication, and leadership will propel the Santa Monica office to continued success.
