Alex Renaud - Born on a family farm in the small town of Williams, Iowa (400 people). My father farmed with his father and 4 brothers. Between the 5 of them there wasn’t much room on the farm for any more partners, so my siblings and I decided to attend college. I attended University of Northern Iowa, and majored in General Business. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Blake , and we have five children. I have been blessed to be working with Thrivent since 2010, and some of my areas of focus are Agricultural Transition Planning, Business Benefit Planning, and Tax Efficiency Planning. In short, I enjoy helping clients be wise with their money.

I was born and raised here in Eastern Iowa. Growing up I worked various odd jobs, started some of my own ventures and always enjoyed helping people find unique solutions to their problems. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a double major and minor in business. Throughout college I was involved with the John Papa-john Entrepreneurial Center, UNI Outdoors and UNI Intramural sports. After graduating I knew I wanted to stay here in the Cedar Valley and I accepted an offer to work here at Thrivent. I enjoy working with professionals, families and business owners as they dream, plan and work to achieve their goals.
