Our story

Joel joined Thrivent in 2016 and started Covenant Financial Group in 2019. After years of serving as CEO of an international company and, before that, as a vice president for Ecolab, Joel decided to make a career change. Drawing on his business acumen, faith and interest in finances, he chose to become a financial advisor with Thrivent.
