About Jeff Ritter

Serving Christians, helping them be wise with money and live generously has been a part of my Thrivent journey for over 29 years. I obtained the Certified Kingdom Advisor designation to enhance my Biblical training and therefore help my clients do the same.


I have specialized in asset accumulation and management with an enhanced focus on retirement income distribution, along with all of the protection components of a solid financial plan. I have the training and tools to help people navigate their Social Security benefits, pension plans, and I can provide tax efficiency in the retirement distribution phase of life.


My wife, Cindy and I are very active in church programs. We do a lot of volunteering through our Thrivent Community supporting local 501©3 organizations. Additionally, I am the President – Emeritus of Bike Buckeye Lake an organization designed to create safe family bicycling. I enjoy woodworking, cycling, boating, RV traveling and spending time with family and friends on Buckeye Lake.
