Our Team

At Atlas Financial Benefits, each of us brings a unique background and a personal reason for choosing to build here. Together, these diverse experiences shape the way we serve our clients and support one another.

Nick Nielson

PRESIDENT

Hi, my name is Nick Nielson. I'm married to the woman of my dreams, Danielle.  We have four amazing kids, Mason, Porter, Izabelle, and Addy. Additionaly, we wouldn't be complete without our one-eyed Boston Terrier, Bullseye, and our Cavapoo, Poppy.  My Family is my world; we enjoy traveling, supporting our kids' competitive sports teams, and enjoying time in nature as a family.  My core values revolve around God, Family, and Country.  I've worked the past 20 years in various Operations Management and Sales roles.  Most recently, I led a national sales team for Marketstar and ExxonMobil North America.  Atlas was founded to meet all the criteria I needed to never search for another career opportunity again.  I fell in love with the product and how it changed lives. I've watched my children become more driven and goal-oriented as they've watched me work this career.  They see that dedication and hard work pays off.  That trickle-down effect is priceless!  I love associating with like-minded individuals who propel me to greatness each day.

Hey guys, my name is Rylie Ketchum. I'm your Sales Academy Trainer here in Minneapolis, MN. I was born and raised in the streets of Seattle and went to college in Montana (Go Griz!). A job opportunity in Minneapolis brought me here after college, and I've called Minnesota my home ever since. I've been with Freedom since the beginning, and there's nowhere else I'd rather be. I am married to my husband, Joey, and I can't wait to get to know you more when you come through the Sales Academy. I stay with Freedom because of the PEOPLE! The Elevated and Freedom teams are some of the most talented, joyful, and hardworking people I've ever met. I'm a better person every day because I'm surrounded by this team.
