About Brendan Rorem
In more than two decades as a Financial Consultant with Thrivent, I have been honored to be part of a select group of top-producing representatives in our organization who have met additional education and advanced training requirements. Prior to my work with Thrivent, I was an executive focused on business development with music, media and technology companies.
I met Kelly, my wife of 32+ years, at Pacific Lutheran University and we have enjoyed raising our 3 wonderful daughters - Katie, Alison and Annelise - on Mercer Island as well as cheering them on as they attended UW and WSU. (As a Lute, I cheer for both but I claim neutrality for the Apple Cup.) My family moved to Mercer Island, Washington from Minnesota in my youth and we have raised our girls there and have been involved in a variety of activities in the community including our church, non profit boards, attending sporting events, and time with our extended families on both sides of Washington State.
