Andrew Nicholas
FIC, BFA™
I’ve been a Financial Consultant with Thrivent since February 2015, helping folks plan for retirement, make their taxes work smarter, grow their investments, set up their estates, and give generously to causes they care about. I got into this work because I love helping people get a clear picture of their finances. Too many people feel lost about what they’re invested in or how it all works, and I want to bring them peace of mind by showing them the path forward.
Thrivent feels like home to me because my Christian values line up with their focus on using money as a tool to do good and give back. The best part of my job? Getting to know my clients, helping them hit their goals, and being there when life throws them a curveball.
I’ve earned my BFA (Behavioral Financial Advisor) and FIC (Fraternal Insurance Counselor) credentials, which means I have both the technical and behavioral insight to serve my clients better. People often say I’m great at thinking outside the box to come up with creative solutions that fit their unique needs.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me hanging out with my amazing wife and three awesome kids, fly fishing, going to church, or exploring new places with friends. Life’s all about balance, and I’m grateful to share it with the people I love.

Shawn Greenfield
MBA, BFA™
I'm a financial advisor who believes your financial strategy should reflect your values, not just your numbers. Based here in the Palouse region, I’ve built my practice around serving individuals and families who care deeply about making wise, purposeful decisions with what they've been given.
With years of experience helping clients plan for retirement, preserve wealth, and create meaningful legacies, I focus on guiding people through pivotal life transitions — especially those preparing for or enjoying retirement. My approach combines personalized advice, thoughtful tax-wise strategies, and a deep respect for each client’s story.
My wife and I absolutely love getting out and enjoying nature, and this region offers so many great opportunities to explore. I have a passion for photography, hiking new trails to scenic views, and really anything that involves being outdoors. As often as we can, we enjoy visiting our family and loved ones that are scattered both near and far. We are very active in our local church and love the community and local events that happen here on the Palouse throughout the year. On the weekends, we often find ourselves chasing down and enjoying our two sons, taking scenic drives along the beautiful, winding country roads all around us, and exploring all that our rolling his have to offer. Traveling and experiencing other cultures is also very important to our family. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity of visiting over 50 countries thus far!

Connor DeVries
Connor DeVries came to the Palouse in 2011 to attend the University of Idaho, working in local journalism and real estate while earning his degree. After college, he continued to work as a journalist, then transitioned to a career in freelance insurance adjusting and private investigation in central Washington.
Connor joined Northwest Pinnacle Group in 2024 for two reasons. The first was that he had developed an intense interest in the stock market and international currency markets. The second was that as an adjuster, he had seen firsthand the mediocre (and occasionally disastrous) results of the one-size-fits-all mentality common in the insurance and financial services industry, so he was thrilled to find a team that would allow him to take a more careful, nuanced approach to managing and protecting his clients’ finances.
Connor’s extracurricular activities have included, at various times, snowboarding, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, prison ministry, learning to speak Russian, and a stint as a reserve deputy, but his favorite has always been music, and you can occasionally find him playing shows with friends at local pubs and coffee shops near his home in Moscow.
