Originally from the Twin Cities area, Noah’s family moved to Wisconsin right before his high school years and settled just outside Eau Claire. After graduation, he attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where he completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Business.
Noah entered the financial services industry in 2001. He obtained a license in Life/Accident/Health insurance and became a mortgage originator, a Registered Investment Representative and a Limited Principal for both Minnesota and Wisconsin. At his first firm, PFS Investments, Noah helped expand several offices between the Twin Cities and Milwaukee. He grew into the role of regional manager, assuming the responsibility for developing teams of agents and advisors across both states. In 2010, Noah came back to Eau Claire, where he took a position inside the bank channel of the financial industry with Bank Mutual and Mutual Financial Group. There he served dual roles as a Financial Advisor and Regional Manager for 15 branch locations across western Wisconsin.
In 2018, he joined MainStreet Capital Management, partnering with the company’s founder, Steve Flaten, CFP®, ChFC®. Upon Steve’s retirement in early 2023, Noah became the firm’s President. His previous experience with Bank Mutual and sum of more than 21 years of overall industry experience has contributed to his invaluably broad knowledge of the industry’s institutional AND independent channels.
Over the past decade, he has earned numerous industry designations from multiple colleges including: CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), Accredited Portfolio Manager (APMA®), Chartered Retirement Plan Counselor (CRPC®) and Chartered Sustainable-Responsible-Investment-Counselor (CSRIC®). As a fiduciary in his advisory relationships, Noah currently services clients in 16 states across the country.
In his spare time, he enjoys volunteering at Westgate Sportsman’s Club and is a member of both the Finance and Grounds committees. More than anything, Noah enjoys attending his daughters' volleyball games and competitive dance events and doing all things outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, golf and travel.
