CHICAGO - July 26, 2017 - PRLog -- Kevin Reddington, a Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual – Chicago in Oak Brook, has been appointed a College Unit Captain.

Reddington joined the firm as a college financial representative in the post-graduate internship program in 2014.  Fresh off his Economics degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, he had the opportunity to grow his practice in Chicago while learning the fundamentals of financial planning.

He holds his series 6 and 63 securities license and is licensed in Life, Health, Disability and Long Term Care insurance.

Reddington is an active supporter of the Northwestern Mutual - Chicago childhood cancer philanthropic impact initiative.  He recently served on the Golf Committee which raised $40,000 for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.  The proceeds will help advance research into new treatments and cures for childhood cancer.  He also regularly volunteers with his colleagues at the local Ronald McDonald House providing meals for families staying at one of the five houses in Chicago.
