Kathleen NorthFinancial AdvisorCFP®, FIC, CLTC®, BFA™

I followed my husband Rick to Thrivent in 2007. I enjoy helping our clients with retirement income strategies and insurance planning. I have a particular passion for supporting women who make financial decisions alone, and love it when I can be a “second brain” for an independent woman. My roots are in the Columbia Basin and I am a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University. Gig Harbor has been my home since I married Rick in 1991. We have two adult children and savor any time spent with family. When I am not at work, I might be waterskiing, snow skiing, paddling, or hosting a pot-luck. I believe remarkable dividends come from shared moments over shared dishes.

Rick NorthFinancial ConsultantFIC, 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. Gig Harbor has been my home 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.
