What Makes us a Team?
We are often asked, “Why do you work as a team rather than as individual advisors?” While being a financial advisor can be incredibly rewarding on a personal level, running a solo practice can also be very challenging.
When Mike joined Thrivent after his time at Merrill Lynch, he became part of the Johns Creek location, working alongside two veteran advisors. Though he was not new to the industry, Mike appreciated the support and collaboration that came from working in a team environment.
After their retirement, Mike continued to build upon that strong foundation, leading North Point Financial Advisors. He leads the practice from a place of being a deeply involved husband and father—a man who shows up every day for those he loves and cares about.
As a team, we are all deeply connected to our families and communities, and these relationships remain our guiding principles and driving force. We choose to work together because we share a passion not only for financial advice and products but also for the Dedicated Planning Process and the client relationships it fosters. We believe that money is a tool, not a goal, and that when managed wisely, it can lead to greater personal fulfillment and a better life for our families.
