Meet the Team Tuesday
Here she is, last but surely not least of our 13-person team! Just about thirty-two years ago, Nancy Hansen founded Redwood Financial Advisors. Nancy has had quite the career! She is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™️ & holds several other designations. Educating others and herself is something Nancy strives for. She has been honored with many recognitions throughout the years, the most recent becoming part of Thrivent Legends. She has been with Thrivent since before Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL) and Lutheran Brotherhood (LB) merged to form Thrivent.
Nancy started with an office in Redwood Falls, MN; and in 2021 opened an office in Springfield, MN, as well. Nancy tries to travel to Arizona for some warm weather, golf, family time, and of course, to visit our clients who are snowbirds there as often as she can. She works remotely while there, along side her son Jacob, who has our Arizona office.
We thought it would be fun to do a little Q & A with Nancy; she shared some great stuff, many of you might not know! Check it out:
Nancy, Can you share something about you?
“I grew up playing softball from 4-H softball teams where they had to have 3 girls on the team to petitioning Pipestone High School board to allow softball as a sport, to college ball at SDSU but when college was coming to an end I knew I needed to find another sport and golf was the only PE class I could get into my senior year of college for the last PE credit I needed! My grandmother had a really old set of clubs that I could use, my dad allowed me to hit balls into the cow pasture ( I never did hit any cows) and the rest is history!”
Currently something you are doing or into?
“ I don’t get to do this often but when in AZ I have discovered cactus art. I collect cactus carcasses and sand to a smooth finish and apply clear epoxy – very pretty and natural décor!”
A goal you have personally and/or professionally for the new Year?
“Just continue to be here for my clients and their family members. We have sooo many amazing multiple generation clients and that is really fun and inspiring to help them pass their legacy of hard work and accumulating an estate to the next generation.”
Anything else you would like to share? “ Many people are starting to ask “when are you retiring?” The plan is not to retire but to change the way I work and balance my time in MN with my time in AZ so I can be part of my kids’ lives. We’ve built an amazing practice with an incredible team to make sure everything runs efficiently no matter where I am at, but I am not planning on retiring any time soon!! Plus, the golf in AZ in the winter is way more pleasant than MN golf in the winter! – way easier to find the ball when it strays from the fairway!
Can we get one last thought Nancy?- this has been incredible!
Sometimes I ask new clients to tell me their first money story. I learn a lot about a person’s relationship with money, savings, and spending by their first recollection of money.
My story revolves around nightcrawlers - my siblings and I would pick up nightcrawlers on our farmyard and sell them to a local gas station for bait. I believe our record one night was 110 dozen nightcrawlers!
