After graduating college, I wanted to work with my father and joined his practice at Thrivent. For the past 32 years it has been an honor to continue my father's work providing financial guidance and also to live out my faith and values working with a Christian company. In 2006 I chose to pursue the Certified Financial Planner designation so I could work with clients on more comprehensive financial planning. My wife Monique, son Luke and I are members of Faith Lutheran Church and enjoy participating in outreach activities to our local community.

Hi, I'm David Contessa

I am a husband, father and grandfather and have always strived to make the world a better place for my family and yours. By establishing a plan to save, build, support and provide for future generations, we all win!

After many years serving the community and citizens of the state of Florida as a law enforcement officer, I’ve discovered my new calling with Thrivent. I will continue serving individuals and families by providing a holistic approach to financial planning.

Originally from Virginia, I've always had a deep love for the beach, palm trees, and sunny weather. That passion ultimately brought my husband and me to beautiful Naples, Florida—and we couldn't be happier to call it home.

With a background in managing an animal hospital and various administrative roles, I've developed strong customer service and communication skills that I now bring to our team. After meeting Steven Mielke and David Contessa, I knew right away that this was the kind of team I wanted to be a part of. I'm proud to contribute to the smooth operation of the office through my organizational skills and dedication to efficiency.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our two cats, and we make it a point to explore as many local beaches and parks as we can.
