About Jim Cowgill
Why Financial Advisory? Why Thrivent?
I was encouraged to meet with a local Thrivent Advisor when I was in my late 20’s. My childhood best friend works for Thrivent and he told me I’d be great in this career. I told him he was crazy! However, I agreed to the meeting because I was intrigued. I asked the advisor that I met with how she measured success in her business. While I expected an answer that was centered around profit, I was surprised by her response. She said, “Jim, when I walk a client out of my office and I know that the work we are doing together is helping them to a healthier mindset and relationship with money, I know that helps open them up that much more to whatever God’s call in their lives”. This career is about much more than dollars and cents. It’s about guiding people toward an active relationship with money that provides clarity and freedom to make smart decisions. It’s about helping people get what they want for themselves and for others.
About Me
My wife, Rachel, and I are blessed with 3 beautiful daughters who have a variety of interests that keep us on the go! Gymnastics, cheer, soccer, volleyball, basketball, color guard, and roughly 1 million play dates…and we wouldn’t want it any other way! I’ve been playing golf for 28 years. And even though I’m still not very good, I was able to beat my buddy, Chase, on the front 9 at Indian Hills resort in Fairfield Bay, AR recently, so I've got that going for me! In addition to golf, I love all things Chicago sports! Bear Down!!
