My Story

Money is a tool that God uses through his children to create lives rich in meaning, gratitude, joy and abundance. Beginning my financial services career in 2003, I embarked on a mission to help families wisely manage and honor the blessings and resources entrusted to them. After several years as a field manager with Thrivent, I then earned advanced designations as a Certified Financial Planner®, Certified Kingdom Advisor®, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy and Fraternal Insurance Counselor. Through which I gained further knowledge of the industry and how to best serve God and my clients through financial planning, I subsequently established the Avonlea Financial Group with my business partner and fellow financial advisor Katherine Gross in 2022.

All throughout my tenure, my journey reflects a commitment to this profession and the clients and community I am privileged to serve. I am proud to be a Thrivent financial professional and even prouder to help clients and their families through personalized financial guidance.

My Mission

Thrivent Scout Community

My mission is to uplift my community and further grow my passion for service through many collaborations with the local Troops of Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America). From Personal Management to Bugling Merit Badge Workshops, Greg brings our clients together with scouts to make an impact locally with cause organizations. This includes the Atlanta Area Council of Scouting America, Taps For Veterans and The Sandwich Project. Greg also uses Bugling to inspire scouts and to put purpose into action by honoring our active military and veterans through music.

Through support from the Thrivent Scout Community of Greater Atlanta, website ScoutBuglers.com was created. It is a comprehensive resource and hub for scout buglers to visit for valuable content, tutorials, and community support to enhance their bugling skills. We encourage you to explore a wealth of information and learn more about the Scout Community’s dedication to service through bugling.

My Faith

We are Certified Kingdom Advisors® who are among a principled class of Christian financial advisors.
