 Education

Background

Upon graduation from Peru State College in 1993 Tracy VanDyke was looking for a career that would provide her with professional growth opportunity, personal flexibility and the ability to have positive impact on the lives of people she came into contact with.

After careful consideration of all of her options Tracy decided to follow her father, John Shannon, and join Northwestern Mutual Financial Network as a financial representative. In 1996 John Shannon passed away following a battle with lung cancer and Tracy began to work with the clientele he had developed relationships with in addition to her existing clientele.

Tracy has seen many changes to Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and the financial services industry, but the one thing that has remained constant is creating relationships with people and working with them to assist in achieving their goals and dreams.
