About Michael Banta
After years working alongside surgeons and hospital systems in the medical device industry, I developed a deep respect for the dedication, responsibility, and pressure physicians face every day.Today, as a Financial Representative with Northwestern Mutual, I focus on helping physicians, business owners, and professionals protect their most valuable asset — their ability to earn an income — while building long-term security for themselves and their families.My work centers around helping clients make thoughtful decisions about risk management, income protection, and long-term strategic planning.Areas of focus include:• Income protection and disability insurance planning• Long-term care (LTC) planning to help protect retirement assets• Financial strategies for physicians and medical professionals• Planning strategies for business owners and entrepreneurs• Risk management and long-term strategic planningPhysicians spend more than a decade building their earning power. Protecting that income is often one of the most important financial decisions they will ever make.My goal is simple: help people protect the life they’ve built and create a strategy that supports their future.Outside of work, I’m the father of three grade-school children, which is a constant reminder of why planning matters — protecting family, opportunity, and the future.If you\'re open to connecting or having a conversation about strategic planning or income protection strategies, I’m always happy to talk.
