Meet Our Team

Kathleen North
CFP®, FIC, CLTC®, BFA™
I joined my husband Rick at Thrivent in 2007. I enjoy helping our clients with retirement income strategies and insurance planning. I have a particular concern for women who make financial decisions alone, and love it when I can be a “second brain” for an independent woman. My roots are in central Washington and I am a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University. Rick and I have been married since 1991. We have two children, Erik and Kelly. When I am not at work, I can be found waterskiing, snow skiing, paddling, and rooting for our kid’s activities.

Rick North
FIC, CLTC®
I chose to join Thrivent Financial in 2007 because the organization values align with my own. I enjoy providing my clients with sound portfolio development and management, retirement income strategies, and charitable and legacy planning. My previous experience as a successful retail business owner and property developer gives me unique insight which benefits clients with closely held businesses. I grew up on the West slope of Tacoma and graduated from the University of Puget Sound. I have lived in Gig Harbor since the early 1980s. When I am not helping my clients be wise with money, you will likely find me boating in the Puget Sound, solving a yard project, or taking my wife on a dinner date.
