"I (Kurt) joined Prudential Advisors in late 2020. I have over 14 years of experience in the industry. It was a very easy transition and the onboarding support was terrific. I share my time between our Fergus Falls and Fargo offices. Kelsey Heck joined in the Spring of 2021 and we formed a Doing Business As team of Nygaard Advisors. (Kelsey is my daughter!) She came on as an Associate Producer and again, her transition period and onboarding support was tremendous. Kelsey works in the Fergus Falls, MN office. In the Winter of 2021-22, David Cedars joined our team also as an Associate Producer and is located in our Fargo, ND office. David has over 8 years of experience with Prudential. I’d say our team's speciality is in Wealth Transfer and Retirement Income Planning and with the array of products we can offer, it greatly benefits that speciality. I feel Prudential has the products and solutions that best fit our clients' needs and truly are in their best interest. I did not always feel that way with the previous office I was working for. Prudential has helped me to expand the area I serve by allowing us to open an office in Fargo, ND. The Northern Lights Financial Group and its leadership team have been very supportive in our growth! Kurt, Kelsey and David are very thankful for their support!"

Tyler Graham
Financial Advisor

My practice has grown considerably over the space of three years because Prudential Advisors is not only dedicated to supporting their clients, but also my fellow advisors. It is an absolute joy to belong to a team of experienced financial professionals who are selfless with their time and generous with their knowledge, and who are committed to serving the needs and interests of their clients by providing timely advice and guidance. Our success is measured by the success of both our clients and colleagues, and can be summarized as this: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.'"
