Years with Thrivent: 23

My name is Kari Weerts, and I am the Marketing Specialist, Supporting Financial Advisor, Ben Weerts, with the Mission Creek Financial Group.

My background is in teaching. I have my degree in Elementary Education and Special Ed. I have worked in many areas in education and still have a passion of teaching. Now I am using my skills in a different way. I have always had a great rapport with people of all ages and enjoy engaging in conversations and learning about people’s stories. My current role allows me to do all of that.

Having been a wife of an advisor for 22 years, I have formed relationships with Ben’s clients, and I am excited to be able to do just that, now, in the office.

Ben and I have been married for 20 years! We have a 18-year-old daughter, Ella, and a 15-year-old son, Bennett. We are a very busy family, and enjoy attending the kids’ band concerts for both, and cheer Bennett on in football, basketball and baseball. When we’re not at an event, we enjoy relaxing on our lake, Loon Lake, in Cohasset, MN, boating, fishing, tubing and being outside.

I look forward to continuing to visit with our clients and making sure the office is well-run.
