I was referred to Thrivent by the pastor and president of my church. I’ve been with Thrivent since September 2002 and I am enjoying my career with Emerald Financial Group. My goal is to better the lives of those who have a relationship with me, be it personally or professionally. I am married to Karissa and we have two sons. I love to fish. I would fish every day if I could.

I wanted to have a flexible career and help people along the way. I enjoy seeing the aspect of helping people become financially independent. Another reason I joined Thrivent is because I desired to work for a faith-based company that had values and a belief system similar to my own. What motivates me every day is my wife, Pat, of 37 years, our two great kids and their spouses, and eight wonderful grandchildren that I get to see every week.

I joined Thrivent Emerald Financial Group in May 2022. While I am new to Thrivent, I come with over 10+ years experience in the financial industry. I am excited to be a part of this great team! I live in NW Rochester with my wife, Madison, and our 3 children. I have a slight obsession with Minnesota Wild Hockey and in my free time I enjoy a good round of golf!

I found my way to Thrivent when one of my previous co-workers was hired to work for Emerald Financial Group. She referred me when a position opened and I couldn’t turn down the opportunity. I have been with Thrivent more than 10 years, and I’m thankful for our great clients and my caring team. I love rocks and collect them. I also love to visit my family cabin, and spend time with my husband, my kids and grandkids.

I joined Emerald Financial Group because I wanted to be part of an organization whose Christian values align with my own—serving others and using money as a tool to do God’s work. My family are members of Grace Lutheran Church in Dodge Center, where my wife, Kelly, and our two kids are active in mission support. I also serve on the Board of Elders. I am an avid sports fan and have run a fantasy football league since 1996.

I became part of Emerald Financial Group in June 2021. I consider myself lucky to be a part of such a great team and am so honored to work with the best clients. I am an Iowa native, but have lived in NW Rochester with my husband and two children since 2008. I love to travel and spend time with family and friends outside of work.

I joined Emerald Financial Group in November 2021—what an exciting time to come on board! I am a Rochester native and came to Emerald Financial Group after 10+ years working in the nonprofit community. I live in NW Rochester with my husband and two teenage children. I enjoy spending time at the family cabin in Crosslake, Minnesota, and gardening. I am proud to be part of Emerald Financial Group and grateful for the welcoming community of clients and staff.
