About Reed Geiger

Born and raised in Maumee, Ohio, I've always valued the importance of hard work, strong relationships, and giving back to the community that helped shape me. After graduating from Maumee High School, I attended The University of Toledo, where I earned my degree and began pursuing a career focused on helping others achieve financial confidence.


Today, I enjoy helping individuals and families navigate important financial decisions with clarity and confidence. Whether you're just starting your career, raising a family, preparing for retirement, or anywhere in between, I'm committed to helping you make informed decisions and create a strategy that aligns with your goals and values.


As a Thrivent financial professional, I believe financial planning is about more than investments and numbers. It's about helping people use their resources to live the life they envision and support the people and causes that matter most to them. My goal is to build lasting relationships based on trust while helping clients feel confident about their financial future.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and staying active through sports. Golf and basketball have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember, and the lessons they teach, including discipline, preparation, and perseverance, are values I strive to bring to my work with clients every day.


No matter where you are on your financial journey, I'd welcome the opportunity to get to know you and learn what's most important to you. Whether you're looking for guidance, planning for the future, or simply seeking a second opinion, I'd be happy to connect and discuss how I can help.

Had the opportunity to be a part of my first Thrivent workshop last night and really enjoyed the experience. We walked through the 5 Phases of an IRA and had some great conversations with our clients around how tax planning fits into the bigger picture over time. One thing that stood out is how impactful it can be when you shift from thinking year-to-year and instead look at how and when income shows up across your lifetime. Grateful to be part of a team that gets to have these kinds of conversations and appreciate all of our clients who were able to join us. See thrivent.com/social for disclosures.

It’s natural to want to invest more later once you feel you have more financial freedom—but this example shows how time can make a meaningful difference in the end result. Investor A stopped contributing after 10 years, yet still ended with more than Investor B, who invested three times as much over a longer period. The difference comes down to one key factor: time in the market. When investments have more time, compounding can build on itself and begin to do more of the work—even if contributions stop earlier. Starting earlier can also reduce how much you may need to contribute over time, as growth has more opportunity to build on itself rather than relying solely on higher future contributions. That’s why it can be important to start early and stay consistent rather than trying to make up for lost time later. Time in the market can matter more than timing the market.
