Tim Blandford
RICP®, CLTC®, BFA™
Growing up I was taught to respect others, do the right thing, work hard and save my money. As I got older, I learned about perseverance and faith, which allowed me to navigate a career path that ultimately led to Thrivent. After graduating from college and working as a Civil Engineer for about 5 years, I realized something was missing, a void if you will. I had a great job with great benefits but didn't have an opportunity to impact individuals and families. I remember a friend asked if her dad could come over and talk about life insurance and financial planning, which he did. After the appointment, I quickly realized the important decision I had to make and the direction I needed to take. I’ve been with Thrivent since December of 2000 and feel just as grateful and excited to help guide my clients now as I did back then. Outside of my busy career, I enjoy spending time with my wife Shawnae, daughters, Emma and Madi, actively volunteering with the Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity affiliate, and being outdoors fly fishing, hiking, camping or simply relaxing on a warm beach.
