Lynnette Mahlke
CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CASL®, LUTCF®, FIC, RICP®
Lynnette Mahlke has been serving the greater Twin Cities and Wisconsin area as a financial consultant for over 30 years. As a result, she has a tremendous amount of experience working with individuals of all sorts of different life stages, experiences, and situations. She also has experience seeing people from the start of their plan to its fruition. In and amongst all of this, Lynnette’s specialty is those who are within 5 years of retirement, are retired, or are beginning to think about legacy planning. She enjoys the details of helping people to maximize the efficiency with which they not only invest their assets, but also the efficiency with which they draw from them in retirement and as they begin to look at passing it on to the generations to come. In the time that she doesn’t spend at work, Lynnette enjoys being involved at her home church, Woodbury Lutheran. She and her husband John, also have two children, their youngest Jennifer and their oldest Joseph.
