Geoff Kasse, a Principal and Wealth Management Advisor at JKS Financial, was always good with numbers; and has had a steady career trajectory in the financial services industry since 1998, when he interned at Northwestern Mutual as a rising college senior. But he doesn’t take all the credit for his success. “I’ve been so lucky to have parents who pushed me to excel, and to attend schools where I was challenged to do my best. As I got older and experienced more of life, I realized that not everyone has the same opportunities. I’m very fortunate to have what I have.”
