Our story

HOTVTomandTroy

After working independently as Thrivent financial advisors for many years, Tom and Troy combined their practices and became Heart of the Valley Wealth Advisors in 2019. They were drawn together by their shared focus on building authentic client relationships and providing dependable financial care and resources at every turn. 

Tom and Troy have strong roots in Wisconsin and Northern California. Troy is from Wisconsin and raised his family there for 19 years. He now calls California home but travels back to Wisconsin regularly. Tom lived in Wisconsin for several years and has family there. He has been living and working in the bay area of California since 2012. Because of these and other geographic connections, Heart of the Valley Wealth Advisors proudly serves clients across the U.S.
