About Eric Dodd
I have over 28 years of guiding clients in financial decisions and strategies. As a Financial Advisor, I can assist you with Retirement Planning, Life Insurance Plans, Investments, Annuities, and so much more. I focus on providing you with sound financial guidance through a variety of strategies that fit your needs to help you reach your financial goals. In addition to helping with wise money decisions, my goal is to help inspire generosity in our community. Through Programs like Thrivent Action Teams, Thrivent Builds, and Thrivent Choice Dollars®, our members can work with me to give back to the community. One of the highlights of my Thrivent career has been being a part of many Thrivent Builds teams to El Salvador in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
I am married to Andrea and have 4 children Jakob, Hanna, Livia and Jordan. I enjoy travelling, time with family, and participating and watching most sports.
