Lee Ficken

Lee Ficken

CFP®, ChFC®, RICP®, CKA®

With his family having over 55 years of combined experience at Thrivent, you could say Lee was born for this role.

He joined Thrivent immediately following graduating from Vanderbilt University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Always learning, he's obtained multiple credentials including CFP®, ChFC®, CKA®, and RICP. While he enjoys the numbers side of financial planning, the real joy is supporting clients’ stewardship and meaning through clarity of their financial plan.

Lee and his wife Meredith live in The Nations neighborhood with their sons Aaron and Max. Meredith is a Principal Consultant at Nashville-based InfoWorks.

When not in the office Lee stays busy getting outdoors and trying beat his brother Luke in a round of golf (still winless for those keeping score). Meredith and Lee enjoy travelling, hiking, skiing, and time with family.

Roots for: Vanderbilt Commodores, even during football season

              Rains Wall

              Rains Wall

              Rains met his wife Christie at church in Nashville in 2018. They now live east of town with their 2-year-old son, Jonah and are expecting a girl later this year! He toured in the Christian music industry for 10 years with artists such as Sidewalk Prophets, Rhett Walker, and many others. Through his travels, he had the privilege to explore cities all over the US and enjoyed finding the best coffee shop wherever he went. He now enjoys making pumpkin spice lattes with Christie and Jonah with their espresso machine at home.

              During his years as a professional musician, he found a lack of resources when it came to financial and retirement planning in the music industry. This inspired him to further grow his expertise to help those around him.

              Rains is passionate about building relationships and healthy financial planning. Rains’ father, David, was a successful financial advisor and is now in full time ministry. Growing up with these values, Rains is looking to combine financial expertise with his faith as a foundation. He joined Thrivent in January of 2022 and is working towards his CFP® designation.
