Tom Knauer
It is my great honor to lead a vibrant practice like the Red Rose Group. We actively serve hundreds of clients who, over the past 10+ years, have become our extended family. I specialize in building comprehensive strategies for people who want to unite their values with their finances. I feel privileged to advise intentional individuals and guide them through the process of accomplishing their personal goals.
I have worked extensively with folks from all walks of life: business owners, executives, engineers, healthcare professionals, teachers, farmers, pastors...with the common goal of increasing abundance & generosity while reducing stress. No financial hurdle is too intimidating for our team. We are creative & diligent problem solvers. As life's complexity increases, so does our capacity to help you.
I am a native of Lancaster County. My wife Rachael & I currently reside in Landisville with our two daughters. We enjoy physical fitness & traveling as a family. I am an avid sports fan who most closely follows Penn State football, Chelsea Football Club, and all Philadelphia pro sports teams. We are active members of Wrightsville Assembly of God.

Mark Leiden
RICP®
After a long career in senior corporate management, I felt called to share my financial knowledge and wisdom with others. I passionately work with my clients on comprehensive financial strategies, with a particular emphasis on retirement income and tax efficiencies. No two life situations are the same, and my advice will be tailored to you. My wife and I live in Lancaster. We have three adult children (all Thrivent members!) that share our passions for faith, fun and all things Penn State. We are members of Highland Presbyterian Church, and I am on the Board of Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity. I also enjoy volunteering a Greystone Therapeutic Riding Center, where my wife is an instructor. Most days you can find me on a basketball or tennis court.

Melissa Airoldi
I love being a part of the team at the Red Rose Group as an office professional. I've been with Thrivent since 2014, and I have a background in management and marketing communications. My family lives in Winter Garden, FL, and we love going on adventures to the local parks, playgrounds and pool. My favorite places to serve are Second Harvest Food Bank and at our next door elementary school.
