Hey everyone! I’m Bailey, and I grew up in the Brainerd Lakes Area. After graduating from Brainerd High School, I went on to study Finance at the University of Minnesota Duluth, where I met my wonderful wife. We also have our energetic 3-year-old springer, Maverick, who’s always keeping us on our toes. We decided to make the move back to the BLA in 2022 to put down roots, and we’ve loved every minute of it! This past December, I took a big step with Thrivent by beginning my own financial services practice in Crosslake, and it’s been an exciting journey so far. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hunting, fishing, enjoying time with family, spending time at the lake, or getting in as much golf as I can. https://connect.thrivent.com/bailey-mcmahon

HOW TO HELP: Stop by High Wheel Confectionery and Coffee House for 5-10 minutes or as long as you can (3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.) to help us stuff "shift" bags filled with treats for our local heroes. I look forward to seeing you there!
