Wendy Kottke

Early in her career, Wendy had the chance to interview financial advisors to discover why they love what they do. She would then create videos showcasing their stories and passions. It always resonated with her when they'd share something like, "I take it very personally and do everything I can to ensure that when someone tells me, 'This is everything I have, please help me make it last for the rest of my life,' I do whatever I can to make that dream happen." What a cool industry!

After earning her associate degree in accounting and bachelor’s degree in management and communication, Wendy started work in accounting. But she quickly realized she needed more interaction with people than with numbers. Wendy found herself chatting with the mailman every day just to have someone to talk to! Her next role was in communications for a large corporation, which brought her closer to her dream. For 17 years after that, Wendy worked in marketing and business development in the financial services industry, which is also when she met Chad and Cami! She eventually transitioned solely to business development and strategy. Now, at Eagle Wealth, she can work on business development and strategy while also adding back the marketing, which checks all the boxes for her.

“It's so cool to see how much joy the EWM team finds in their work; it feels like caring hearts focused on helping people,” boasts Wendy.

She was born and raised in Greenville, Wisconsin and made the "big move" ten minutes west to Hortonville when she bought her home. The amazing man in her life, Steve, makes her smile and laugh every day, and she’s so thankful. They have five grown children:  Justin, Brooke, Megan, Allison, and Emma. They also are thrilled to be grandparents of a beautiful, little granddaughter, Aurora.

Fun fact:  Wendy finds chaos and change enjoyable—for some crazy reason!
