About Alex P. Gehring
As a lifelong resident of Atchison, Kansas, I take great pride in helping individuals, families, and businesses in our community build strong financial futures. As a financial advisor with Thrivent, I am committed to providing personalized strategies that align with your values and long-term goals. Whether you’re planning for retirement, protecting your loved ones, or growing your wealth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Beyond my work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, hunting, traveling, and tackling home improvement projects. I believe financial planning is more than just numbers—it’s about building relationships and creating a lasting impact. Let’s work together to develop a plan that helps you live a life full of meaning and generosity.
Family is at the heart of everything I do. My wife, Mindee, and I have been married since 2007, and together, we are blessed with two wonderful children, Khloe and Knox. They inspire me every day to lead with integrity, work hard, and cherish the moments that truly matter. Whether we’re creating new memories at home, cheering each other on, or simply enjoying life’s everyday joys, family is my greatest motivation—both personally and professionally.
Feel free to reach out—I look forward to partnering with you on your financial journey!
