About Jerron McDonald

Jerron has been serving clients as a Financial Consultant with Thrivent since 2021. He began his career in Fargo, North Dakota, after earning his degree in Finance from Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM). Inspired by his grandparents—who were always looking for ways to support those around them—Jerron developed a deep passion for helping others. Today, he carries that legacy forward by guiding families toward stronger, more confident financial futures.


Jerron continues to choose Thrivent because its mission and values align with his own. As a membership-owned organization—not driven by Wall Street—Thrivent empowers its clients to make financial decisions rooted in purpose and faith.


He currently lives in Otsego, Minnesota, with his wife Carly, a pharmacy resident at Children’s of Minneapolis, and their Aussie Doodle puppy, Hazel. Outside of work, Jerron enjoys tackling home improvement projects, spending time with friends and family, and golfing.
