Hi, I'm Cody, financial advisor with Thrivent since 2016. I am committed to helping my clients create a financial plan that aligns with what is most important to them. My values of family, integrity, security, excellence, and meaningful work fuel my relationships with my clients and their families.

Why Thrivent
After graduating from GVSU with a degree in finance, I knew that I wanted to positively impact people's financial lives. After learning about Thrivent and how I aligned with their goals and values, it was a great match. I am able to provide financial guidance on a personal level with the support of a Fortune 500 company that has been around for nearly 120 years. By operating a local Thrivent practice, I can provide local guidance to clients specific to their individual needs.
