I am a financial advisor with Thrivent. I have provided individuals, families and businesses with estate and retirement planning opportunities for the past 41 years. I am a member of The Million Dollar Round Table, Top of The Table. I also hold my Chartered Life Underwriter designation from American College.

I hold an Associate of Arts degree from Blinn College and attended Texas A&M University. My wife, Tiffany, and I are members of Salem Lutheran Church. I am a member of the Salem Fire Department, where I spent 24 years as a volunteer firefighter, 17 of those as either chief or assistant chief. I currently serve on the Washington County Fair Executive Board, was a past chairman of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and served on the Brenham Independent School Board as president and trustee, along with numerous other community boards.

Tiffany and I have two adult sons, Kevin and Shawn, two daughter-in-laws, Taylor and Allison, and four grandchildren, Sawyer, Coleman, Emersyn, and Graham. We reside in Brenham, where I have lived all my life. My family and I enjoy hunting and the outdoors. I take special interest in tax efficiency planning, and helping individuals and families plan for retirement and protect their estates, which is an increasingly difficult challenge today. I am committed to giving back to this wonderful community, which has been very good to me.

Million Dollar Round Table is an industry honor based on sales excellence, outstanding client service, ethical conduct and professional knowledge.

Thrivent has always been like a member of my family. My father, Robert, began his own career with Thrivent in the 1970s and grew a respected practice in Washington County. In my business administration degree work at Texas A&M University, I found my love of numbers, planning, and working with people made financial advising a natural fit. I was honored to work with my father until his retirement in 2012 when I assumed leadership of the practice. In 2020, I was blessed to be offered the opportunity to merge my practice into Five Star Financial Group. I am continually excited by the depth of service we can offer our clients.

My family has been a blessing too. I met my wife, Ashley, in 2005 and we were married in 2007. Sophia Grace, our first daughter, joined our family in 2012 and Sabrina Faith in 2018. I couldn’t imagine a day without any of them. When I’m not at work, you can find me at the gym, or chasing around my girls at their gymnastics and volleyball games.

I am a financial advisor based in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, and have been with Thrivent for ten years. I love helping people develop financial strategies, and my passion is for helping small businesses and agricultural enterprises develop succession plans or transition strategies. I also love that both our Brenham, Texas office and the office in White Sulphur Springs serve rural communities.

After high school in Townsend, Montana, I graduated manga cum laude with my bachelor’s degree in business marketing and administration from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota. I was also fortunate to study at a National Collegiate Honors program in New York City and at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. I carry a master’s degree in agricultural education from Montana State University and am a Chartered Financial Consultant.

I have been married to my husband, Marc, for over 20 years. We are proud to be raising two girls who love their horses and take their 4-H projects seriously. We love the outdoors and are proud to call Montana home. I love that I can serve God and others through my work.

I’m a Wealth Advisor based in Brenham, working with individuals and families to simplify the financial side of life. My focus is helping clients make thoughtful decisions around their investments, retirement, and long-term goals so they can move forward with confidence.

I believe good planning starts with strong relationships. I take time to understand what’s important to each client and build a plan that’s clear, flexible, and aligned with where they want to go—not just today, but over time.

I’m a proud graduate and lifelong supporter of Texas A&M, and you’ll usually find me following Aggie football in the fall. Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, hunting, and spending time with my wife, Allison, and our two sons, Coleman and Graham.

I provide annuity and brokerage support for the Five Star Financial Group. I have been working for Thrivent for over 23 years. I started as a non-licensed OP and have since grown into a licensed staff member. I handle all applications and service work pertaining to annuities and brokerage for our team.

I have been happily married to my husband, James, for 30 years and counting. Our son and daughter-in-law, Jacob and Mikayla, have two girls, Kylee and Olivia.

Prior to working at Thrivent, I ran a childcare business out of my home for five years. In my spare time, you can find me watching my nieces and nephews at their sporting events or spending quality time with my family.

As the Client Relationship Manager at Five Star Financial Group, I focus on building strong, lasting connections with our clients through exceptional service, marketing initiatives, and event coordination. I take pride in making each client feel valued and supported—whether they’re walking through our doors for the first time or have been with us for years.

I was born and raised in Brenham, Texas, and returned to my hometown after graduating from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. My deep ties to the community and passion for helping others are at the heart of everything I do.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going out on the town, or getting competitive over board games. I especially love being with my six nieces and nephews—being the “cool aunt” is one of my favorite roles. I’m also proud to give back to the community through my volunteer work with the Brenham Maifest and Toys for Tots of Washington County.

I am an Insurance Associate and work as support staff for Five Star Financial Group, based out of our office in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Since starting with Five Star in March of 2023, I worked to become licensed in Life and Health Insurance, and have provided service in this area, for both our offices, since that time. 

I was born and raised in Virginia and have always had a passion for livestock and agriculture. This led me to enroll in the agriculture college at Penn State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Bioscience. While at Penn State, I was also lucky enough to be chosen for a competitive study abroad program, studying art history in Italy for a summer semester. After college, my career has been spent largely in the equine sector, which was initially what brought me out to Montana, where I discovered an additional aptitude for farming, equipment operation, and cattle.

I have a wonderful daughter, Rosie, who is thirteen and shares a love of art and all things outdoors. Together we enjoy spending time with our three horses, making art, and getting into the mountains. I am grateful and proud to call our small town my home, and it is fulfilling to be able to help our two wonderful communities through our work.

I am an Office Professional for the Five Star Financial Group. I offer customer service and the scheduling of appointments for the clients as well as support to the team of Financial Advisors and staff of Five Star Financial Group at the Brenham and Montana office locations. I will be the first one that greets you upon your arrival at the Brenham Office. I enjoy helping and visiting with the clients and I look forward to assisting you with your needs.

I have a son and daughter-in-law, Todd and Sarah and a two-year-old grandson Brody.

Prior to working for the Five Star Financial Group, I started in banking right out of high school and continued in that career path until my retirement of 40+ years in February 2022. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors and spending quality time with my family.

I manage staff operations and provide mutual fund support for the Five Star Financial Group. I joined the Five Star team in 2024, however I have twelve years of experience with Thrivent in supporting advisors and business operations. While my office is typically at my home in Bastrop, I work from the Brenham office 1-2 days a week.

I met my husband, EB, in Japan while we served in the US Navy as Russian linguists. We are celebrating 40 years of marriage in 2025. While I served one enlistment of six years, EB retired at 20 years, then taught high school (English and Russian) for 15 years before answering the Call to ministry. We are currently serving at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Bastrop. We have two daughters, Elizabeth (living in Overland Park, KS) and Abby (living in Ft. Worth, TX).

I enjoy distance running (the half marathon being my favorite) and all things outdoors. I can often be found in our backyard garden, playing with the dogs, or simply sitting on our deck enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the birds.

I am a Financial Associate with Thrivent and a member of Five Star Financial Group in Brenham, Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in Wealth Management from Southern Arkansas University and went on to complete my Master of Business Administration to further strengthen my foundation in financial planning and client service.

I was raised in Brenham, which I am proud to once again call home. Serving the same community that helped shape who I am today is something I value deeply. I work with individuals, families, and business owners to help them make thoughtful financial decisions, with a focus on long‑term planning, retirement strategies, and building financial confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by coaching 11U baseball, hunting, and watching football. Faith, family, and service are central to my life, and I am committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to me.
