About Bradley Messerschmidt
I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional and partner at Mountain View Financial Advisors. While we work with clients all over the country, the Pacific Northwest has always been home. Being born in Alaska, growing up in Forks, WA and attending college at Eastern Washington University, I am proud to say that I have visited many of the communities all over the PNW and have a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and wonderful people that I have met along the way.
With a strength of meeting people where they are, understanding their unique situations, and solving problems, this career has allowed me to build meaningful relationships that extend far beyond being just a financial advisor. Many of the people and families that I work with start out as clients and turn into friends.
In my life, I have faced many challenges that have taught me that life is not always a clear, straight forward path. As a parent to three amazing kids with complex medical needs and a cancer-survivor myself, I have gained valuable insights into adversity, creative problem-solving, and the flexibility that life can require. I understand that life's complications can impact families and am dedicated to helping them navigate these challenges. Through my own experiences, I have become well-equipped to handle the unknowns and uncertainties that life can bring. In addition, these experiences have made it clear that is very important to live life, stay positive and be prepared for the hurdles that life can throw your way. When working with our team you will see this wholistic, caring approach integrated into your specific needs and goals.
Brad is passionate about helping people and creating a life and legacy that values both thoughtful planning and enjoying everyday adventures. An avid outdoorsman, Brad loves hunting, especially archery hunting, as well as fishing and spending time in nature. When he’s not with family or working, he’s out pursuing his outdoor interests. Brad is dedicated to helping you build a future where you too can follow your passions and enjoy the things you love.
Community Involvement
Being a Thrivent Member has allowed me to support the organizations and causes I care about in a meaningful way. I am passionate about using tools such as Action Teams and Choice Dollars to help the communities that are important to me.
