About Perry Flowers
I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. My passion has always been helping people, and I was blessed to transition from physical therapy assistance to financial advisement almost 5 years ago. My husband, Jeff, and I are native East Texans and are proud to have raised our son here too. We are now empty-nesters, as Haden is a freshman at Texas Tech - Wreck 'em!
I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. Whether you are located here in beautiful East TX, or further away, I seek to be your partner in all stages of your financial journey. Life changes and as it does, I am here to help provide financial clarity.
