After a stint at the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, D.C. Nelson Weine moved with his wife to her hometown of Milwaukee, where his law practice specialized in tax and estate planning. A series of law firm mergers prompted Nelson to pursue his longtime interest in mutual fund investments.
Nelson worked a number of years in the investment advisory arm of a mutual fund company before following up on a newspaper ad for an opening at Landaas & Company in 2000.
He likens his role as that of a medical professional who diagnoses clients’ financial ailments, prescribes a remedy and monitors the results.
“If it’s not working, we change the dosage,” Nelson says.
As with tax law, investment markets are ever-changing and never dull, Nelson says. But he finds that assisting clients is especially gratifying.
“People come here confused. You help them focus on their objectives,” Nelson says. “Just being able to give people good plans and control risk – that’s basically what it is.”
Nelson grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and has degrees from Miami University, the Ohio State University College of Law, and the George Washington University Law School.
Nelson and his wife, Linda, have a son and daughter and two grandchildren. Nelson enjoys tennis and ping pong as well as reading, particularly spy novels and investment books. Among his activities, Nelson serves as a trustee for the Mound Zion Cemetery Association, in Brookfield.
