About Fred Chambers

I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional and to be partnering with the Shields-Cattau Financial Group. We provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. I'm here to help you do just that.


I love helping people grow in their knowledge and understanding of how personal finances can become a strength in everyone’s life to help them live according to their values and passions and to accomplish their goals. What I appreciate most about Thrivent are our process and tools that help us craft personalized plans for each of our clients.

Working as a team with the Shields Cattau Financial Group

Working as a team with Stephanie Shields, Luke Cattau and their team brings a combined 85 years of experience and skill to our clients. Our mission is to help our clients do well—as they define it—so they can do good.


Stephanie writes, "Initially, when Luke and I chose careers in personal finance it was because it aligned with our skills and gifts. This was a practical decision. But, several decades later, we realized that the reason we stay in this career has more to do with the heart than anything practical. Yes, our education and advanced designations enable us to create solid financial plans for our clients. But it is the joy we experience when we can help families make their dreams a reality that inspires us every day. Our motivation is to see the smiles and sighs of relief when we can reveal they can indeed afford to send their kids to college … or that they can retire one day … or create a significant gift for their beloved children and charities they care so much about. This is beyond rewarding.

It is an honor to be relied on with so much responsibility. We realize every family is unique and we want to be able to bring their personalized strategy to fruition."
