About Mark Beckman
It has been a great gift to work for Thrivent since 1999. I have been able to provide our clients financial clarity and confidence.Our mission is to understand our clients needs and wants and help them achieve them, while emphasizing that money is a tool not the goal.
After graduating from Wartburg college, I spent 9 years working in the banking industry in various capacities helping people with their financial needs. Since joining Thrivent I have focused on helping families find financial solutions for their financial goals and concerns. I have received specialized training as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® so I can provide guidance for a sound financial strategy.
I have been a lifelong Iowan, growing up in Carroll, IA and currently living in Manchester, IA. My wife Karla and I have raised 4 wonderful children and have 1 grandchild. I am an active member of Our Savior Lutheran church and enjoy volunteering for various Christian nonprofit organizations in the area. We enjoy spending time with family, boating, and when time allows, riding my motorcycle.
