Hello, I'm Nathan!
Hello, I'm Nathan!

I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. The culture at Thrivent, from the CEO to advisors in the field, is one of care and compassion. As a fiduciary, I put your best interest and the interest of those you care about first, so you can rest easy knowing that I'll bring the same care and compassion that sets Thrivent apart to each of our meetings. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool -- one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. I'm here to help you do just that.


Originally from Colorado, I attended Valparaiso University in Indiana and attained my Bachelor of Science in Meteorology with a minor in Communication. I spent my early career working as a meteorologist at local news stations across the country. I now call North Dakota home and am active in numerous philanthropies and non-profits and sing in the choir at First Lutheran Church in downtown Fargo. Spending numerous years working in various cities helped me experience different cultures, different local vocabularies, and meet great new people that I've stayed close to all these years later.

When I'm not at the office, I spend a lot of time attending local events and fundraisers, and I'm always searching for pieces to expand my coin collection. I'm also big on watching and attending sporting events in Fargo and wherever my favorite teams play. I follow the Colorado Avalanche, Chicago Blackhawks, Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs. I try to spend some time playing my favorite sports like basketball, baseball, and golf, but those North Dakota winters have made it tough to remain active. You can't find a white golf ball in fresh snow drifts!


I also enjoy traveling whenever I get the chance, as a trip anywhere is an excuse to experience a new place and make memories while sampling the local cuisine along the way. Toronto still holds the top spot as one of my favorites!
