    FIC

    Rustin (or Rusty by some) is in his 20th year as a Thrivent professional. He firmly believes that understanding, educating, empowering, and partnering with clients is the cornerstone in helping them protect themselves and their loved ones. You will hear him often say "if it's important to you, it's important to me". Being able to tell someone that they can retire and live out their dreams is an awesome feeling.


    "I really don't have any bad days.....just days that are better than others. I LOVE what I do!"


    Rustin grew up in Clay Center, KS - following in the footsteps of his father who was a Thrivent Rep for 30 years. He began his career in Great Bend, KS before moving to Salina to be closer to family. Two office locations (Salina and Wichita) keep him busy, but technology advancements have enabled him to keep in close contact and build relationships with clients across Kansas, as well as Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Arizona.


    Rustin and wonderful his wife of 25 years, Kelly, have five amazing kids that keep them very busy outside of office hours. Izaac (21), Sydni (18), Jaxson (16), Tucker (9) and Shae (8). As a family they participate in many sports, travels, and family activities or adventures. Their favorite thing to do is go to the lake with their friends and family, and enjoy the quality time! Rustin believes that family is the most important thing, and brings that mindset into each and every family that he works with.

      I was born and raised in Wichita not far from my office. My wife Laura and I have three boys ages 11,10, and 7. They keep us quite busy!


      One of the greatest things about having a flexible schedule is the ability it gives me to share my time with organizations that are important to me and my family.

          CLTC®

          Dennis has been a Thrivent professional since 2020, and strongly believes that the tools and resources Thrivent offers can provide what is needed to help you create a financial future you can be proud of.


          Born and raised in Central Kansas, Dennis has always had a passion for helping main street America succeed and flourish. Starting at an early age, Dennis was taught the importance of creating a plan and working to ensure it is airtight. He is passionate about helping other young families create a plan as well, so that they do not have any financial hiccups in their future.


          Dennis and his wife of 19 years, Kallie, are kept busy most days by their son, Deklan (9). They enjoy taking him to the lake, sporting events, and school or church functions. Spending time with family is something that is very sacred to Dennis; "These are the years we'll never get back, it is always a priority for me to be present and involved now". Creating a financial plan early, allows a family to enjoy each little moment - knowing their financial future is anchored. On a personal level, Dennis has hopes that each family he works with keeps a positive ambition, and drive - pulling them to a clear financial future they can be proud of.
