Meet Our Team
We're a small, close-knit team with deep roots in the communities we serve. Here's who you'll be working with.
Built Different, On Purpose
DMW Financial was founded in 2003 by Diane Weyrick with a simple belief that still drives everything we do: lifestyle is the goal, money is just the tool.
After more than a decade on the corporate side of financial services, Diane wanted to build something different — an independent practice where relationships come first and every recommendation starts with the client's life, not a product shelf.
Today, DMW Financial has grown into a team of advisors serving individuals and families across Northfield, New Prague, and the surrounding communities. The approach hasn't changed: we match your resources to your goals, and we build plans around the life you actually want to live.
Life Before Money
Your plan should fit your life, not the other way around.
Strategy Over Products
We recommend what's right for your situation — not what's easiest to sell.
Relationships, Not Transactions
We measure our work by how confident our clients feel about their future.
“I wanted to build a practice where every conversation starts with what matters most to you — not what's easiest to sell.”
DMW Financial has been serving individuals and families in Northfield, New Prague, and the surrounding communities since 2003. What began as one advisor's commitment to doing things differently has grown into a full team — all sharing the same belief that financial planning should be as personal as the lives it's built around.
Diane Weyrick
Diane has spent over 35 years in the financial services industry — and she built DMW Financial from the ground up. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Communications from North Central University in 1991 and completing graduate work in Entrepreneurship at the University of St. Thomas, she spent a decade on the corporate side before becoming an advisor in 1999. She worked with a couple of community banks before deciding to do things her own way, founding DMW Financial in 2003 as an independent, client-first practice.
That independence has always been the point. Diane wanted to build a practice where the advice is driven entirely by what’s right for the client — no quotas, no corporate agenda, just honest planning. More than two decades later, that’s still the foundation everything is built on.
Diane lives in Lakeville by her Son Zeb. She consults with Eden Inc., a non-profit supporting the children of Kenya, and stays active in her local community through civic and political involvement. Outside the office, she’s likely helping her kids with one of their business ventures, behind the wheel of something interesting, or spending time in her Bible.
Zeb Weyrick
Zeb grew up watching DMW Financial take shape from the inside — his mother Diane founded the firm in 2003, and financial planning was just part of the air in the house. That early exposure gave him a head start, but what sharpened his thinking was his time at CreatEd Institute, where the focus was on critical thinking and understanding systems from first principles. That same instinct drives his approach to investing: take the broad view, build real conviction in the data, and solve the actual problem — not just the symptom on the surface.
He works primarily with families and business owners on retirement planning, investment management, insurance planning, and tax management — always aiming for a solution that’s built for the person in front of him, not pulled off a shelf.
Zeb grew up on a farm in Webster, and that upbringing left a mark. Hard work wasn’t optional, and problems didn’t wait around to be dealt with. He carries that same mindset into everything he does: solve it right, solve it completely, and don’t let today’s problem become tomorrow’s disaster. Outside work, he stays busy on a rotating cast of projects — flipping houses, fixing cars, flying planes, or talking through big ideas with friends around a fire. He now lives in Lakeville with his wife Cali and his dog Bub.
Adam Evenson
Adam has been in the financial industry since 2003 and earned his Certified Financial Planner™ designation in 2009 — a credential that requires meeting rigorous standards in education, examination, experience, and ethics. He works primarily with individuals and families on retirement planning, investment management, insurance planning, and tax management, helping them pull all the pieces together into a plan that actually makes sense for their lives.
What sets Adam apart is his focus on risk. His investment approach centers on reducing downside exposure so clients can stay the course when markets get choppy — because a plan you can stick with is worth more than a perfect plan you abandon. He brings that same steady, no-pressure style to every client relationship. The goal is for you to leave every conversation feeling more informed, not more sold.
Adam grew up in Alden, a small town in southern Minnesota, and earned his Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Minnesota State University, Mankato. Outside the office, you’ll find him on a disc golf course, volleyball court, or in the weight room — or out running, if the weather cooperates. He has two boys, Brayden and Ethan. Brayden is in college at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Ethan is in high school and plays Hockey for the Minnesota River Bulldogs in the winter and the Saint Peter Saints Soccer team in the Summer.
Paula Andreas
Paula has been part of the DMW Financial family since the very beginning. She joined Diane in the Northfield office in 2003 — the same year DMW opened its doors — and has been the welcoming face and familiar voice that clients count on ever since. If you’ve ever called to schedule an appointment or come in to drop off paperwork, you’ve already met Paula.
A lifelong Northfield resident, Paula has deep roots in the community and takes real pride in making every client feel at home from the very first interaction. She’s keeps the office running smoothly behind the scenes so that everyone else can focus on our clients and their futures.
Outside the office, Paula has a serious case of wanderlust — though her preferred mode of exploration is a cruise ship with a beach on the horizon. She’s seen a good stretch of the world from a deck chair, and she’d be happy to give recommendations.
