Dan Rivers sees each day as an opportunity to “do better” and make a contribution.
From a near drowning incident at age ten, and teachings from his parents, Rivers has learned to see each day as an opportunity to achieve and contribute to the world.
In 2005, Rivers moved to the area to oversee the merger of a number of offices in Kentucky and Sothern Indiana and to create the managing team for the newly created Northwestern Mutual of Louisville. He is currently its managing partner and president.
He began with Northwestern Mutual as a college intern in South Carolina. After his graduation in 1988, Rivers became a full-time financial representative and earned a lifetime membership of the Million Dollar Roundtable. By 1993, he became the Columbia, S.C. office’s managing director. During this time, he led his office to be one of the leaders in the district.
In 2003, The State newspaper named Rivers one of their Top 20 Under 40. He holds many professional designations and has served on numerous local charitable and leadership boards in both South Carolina and Kentucky.
