About Jim Gill
About Jim Gill
I’ve always been interested in solving problems. As a Thrivent Financial professional, I help Christians achieve their goals through the use of sound guidance and a wide array of product solutions.
These may include life insurance, disability coverage, college savings plans, Roth IRAs, and retirement annuities. A solid strategy also includes optimizing your Social Security, minimizing taxes, and positioning your assets for efficient estate transfer.
With Thrivent, I also have the unique opportunity to align my values with my professional life. By connecting faith and finances, I offer my clients new ideas of how they can achieve their own financial goals while also providing for the people and organizations they love.
I have been married to Laurie since 1992. She can often be seen assisting me when I host events, participate in the local community, and lead financial workshops.
