About Bill Erck
About Bill Erck

I have been serving Thrivent clients since 1998, specializing in retirement income planning and helping individuals and families create strategies for a confident and purpose-filled retirement. With nearly three decades of experience, I’m passionate about guiding clients through important financial decisions while helping them align their financial goals with the values that matter most to them.

 

I have been married to my wife, Lisa, since 1992 and are blessed with two children. Our son, Tyler, and his wife, Kara, are the proud parents of Harrison and Wells. Our daughter, Emily, is married to her husband, Cooper. We are active members of Zion Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and embracing the outdoors through hiking, boating, and hunting. Lisa and I also enjoy traveling together and participating in mission trips that allow us to serve others around the world.

The Team: The Falls Advisor Group

The Falls Advisor Group isn’t an office full of people you meet just once or twice. We’re here to make sure the financial guidance process is based on your goals and values. You’ll get to know the whole team as you schedule your appointments, build and implement a plan, call with questions, attend our social events, lead a Thrivent Action Team and introduce us to your friends and family. We’ll help you make decisions around your insurance, investing and retirement planning needs by getting to know what really matters to you. We see money as a tool, not a goal, and through this lens can accomplish more in bringing you real satisfaction.
