Background

Craig Fiedler is the Managing Director for the Eastern Pittsburgh district network office in Monroeville, PA.  As a Managing Director, he is responsible for mentoring and developing new representatives as well as providing financial services for his clients. Craig specializes in business needs, estate analysis and wealth accumulation. He attended Penn State University where he received a degree in Marketing. After graduation, Craig became an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps for five years. He has been with the Northwestern Mutual Financial network since 1994.

Craig decided on a career at Northwestern Mutual for several reasons. Most of these revolve around the common themes of Independence, Income and Impact; having the independence of being your own boss and setting your own schedule, having the virtually unlimited income potential, and impacting people's lives by recommending some of the top financial products available. These principals have followed Craig throughout his career as his personal production business eventually grew to his own office of 16 representatives in the Eastern Pittsburgh area.

In Craig Fiedler's spare time, he enjoys spending time with family, friends, going to church, playing golf, hunting, and attending Penn State football games.  He is also a member of the PSU Football Letterman's Club.  Craig resides in Fox Chapel with his wife, Alyce, and four children, Caroline, Henry, Grace and Lilley.
