I joined Thrivent as a client in 1996 and became a Financial Advisor in 2014. My 26 years at W.W. Grainger allowed me to develop people, teams, manage inventory, grow sales, and improve productivity. Now as a Financial Advisor I assess financial needs of individuals and helping them make decisions on investments, tax laws, and insurance. I also help clients plan for short and long-term goals, such as budgeting for educational expenses and saving for retirement through investments.
I live in Lindenhurst, IL with my wife, Rhonda. We enjoy spending time with our sons, Joseph, and Daniel’s family, typical vacations include hiking and getting outdoors. My hobbies include photography, fishing, gardening, hiking and lately puzzles.
