Taylor Davis, ’16, excelled as a quarterback for the Colonels. Today, he is the founding president of DFG Advisory, a Northwestern Mutual (NM) subsidiary advisory firm based in Lexington. Under his leadership, DFG became a Northwestern Mutual Top 20 firm in 2021, the youngest to ever reach a top-20 ranking in the company’s 166-year history.
Davis’ internship with NM foretold his future with the firm. He was named one of the company’s top 75 college interns in the South and the only one from a Kentucky institution.
Just as he benefited from his own senior-year internship with NM, Davis mentors many others following in his footsteps, such as Marcus Mullen, ’20, who also impressed during an internship and today is a financial adviser with NM.
The Berman Center for Professional Sales in EKU’s College of Business aims to produce even more success stories like Davis and Mullen.
