Our Story
Our story

Sherryl, our founder, was recruited by Thrivent in 2003 while working in fundraising for Greater Lutheran Church. From the beginning, Sherryl’s goal was to build a practice that included financial professionals with a variety of specialties, including financial and estate planning and charitable giving.

Cascade West Group changed dramatically in 2015 when Sherryl’s daughter, Camille Adair-Hatch, joined our team. She brought a wealth of knowledge as a licensed attorney who had practiced as in-house counsel for four years after graduating from law school. 

We were also blessed to add David Van Deusen to our team in February 2016. He brought unique expertise with his investment management and financial planning background. 

In addition to being a team of strong, flexible financial professionals dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our clients, we’re also committed to spreading generosity. In 2015, after one of our dear team members, Connie Hogue, lost her husband, we embraced cancer research and patient services. After three years of supporting Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society (ACS), we created the "Tough Against Cancer Initiative" for ACS*.

 

We encourage our clients with membership to raise their charitable giving and volunteerism to new levels by participating in Thrivent Action Teams and many of Thrivent’s other unique programs for giving back.  

With more than two decades of experience and expertise in financial services, we look forward to helping you make the most of all you’ve been given. Call today to schedule your free consultation.

She is looking forward to spending more time with her grandson, husband of 50 years and family while enjoying hobbies that include entertaining, gardening and cooking. 

 

Sherryl’s love for her family and community also drives her to fundraise and volunteer. She is a founding member of the Tough Against Cancer Initiative with the American Cancer Society (ASC)*. In addition, Sherryl and her husband attend Holy Spirit Lutheran Church and Salt House Church in Kirkland. Sherryl’s favorite Bible verses are Mark 12:30, John 14:2 and 15:13, and 1 Corinthians 13:4.
