About Alex Coyne

Coaching runs in my veins. I started my career coaching college basketball right out of school. Today, I coach people on how to plan for their financial futures. I thought I’d be in sports my whole career, but life throws things at us that can change our course.I grew up in a blue-collar, middle-class family in Pittsburgh. We had a good life and everything we ever wanted. In 2018, my dad was hit with an unexpected health diagnosis that forced my parents’ hands to cash out their retirements. They didn’t have the right protection in place to financially shield them. This was the core moment that fueled my passion for financial planning. This moment inspired me to become a different type of coach. I wanted to help people build game plans that would allow them to live by design, not by default.One of my connections introduced me to their Wealth Management Advisor at Northwestern Mutual. I knew immediately that it was the career path for me and I didn’t hesitate one bit to pursue it.I started training just four days later. I was in the last in-person training class before the pandemic shut down. I got three licenses in the first year and consumed as much training as possible so I could hit the ground running. Being a Wealth Management Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. It’s a powerful vehicle that lets me make a difference in people’s lives.If you’re looking for a financial advisor who’s committed to serving you in the highest capacity possible, someone who can coach you to a smarter financial future, and someone who will deliver 150%, I’d love to talk.

   As a Wealth Management Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual, 90% of my time goes to coaching people on how to win the financial game of life. I work with people all across the country who are goal-driven, highly successful individuals, families, and business owners. My goal is to help them build comprehensive financial plans, wealth accumulation strategies, and retirement income strategies that will allow them to live by design, not by default.When my clients are facing difficult situations, there’s nothing more rewarding than figuring out the problem and then presenting a solution that they didn’t even know existed. The relief that crosses their face as they see new possibilities is priceless. I live for those lightbulb moments. Life is filled with ups and downs, wins and losses. The secret to staying on your feet is being prepared. I’d love to help you build a plan that will prepare you to navigate anything life throws your way.
