Eric Nordberg is a 1987 graduate of Michigan State University. Eric received his Bachelors degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on advertising and marketing. In 1990 Eric entered the financial services industry with a major financial planning company where he gained a comprehensive background in financial planning and brokerage services for individuals and small businesses.  He subsequently spent over 10 years as a financial consultant for a top brokerage firm, A.G. Edwards.  A desire for greater independence from traditional Wall Street strategies led Eric to leave A.G. Edwards and to co-found Nordberg & VanDenBerg, Inc.

Curt VanDenBerg earned his Bachelors Degree in Economics from Michigan State University in 1988. During his final year of college he served as an intern at E.F. Hutton & Co. and it was during this time he developed an interest in the investment advisory business. Upon graduation, Curt was hired by E.F. Hutton & Co. and trained as a Financial Consultant. From 1988 through 1997 he worked for two major brokerage firms, first E.F. Hutton & Co., and subsequently Paine Webber, Inc. Disappointed with the lack of critical, objective thought and research available through major brokerage firms, Curt left Paine Webber, Inc. in 1997 to pursue greater independence by establishing his own investment advisory firm. Curt holds several securities industry licenses through J.W. Cole Financial, Inc., including his Series 7 General Securities License, Series 63 state "blue sky" license, Life, Health and Variable Contracts licenses, and Series 31 Futures and Commodities license.
