Andrew Bolin
CFP®, CKA®
Andrew is a father of two and husband to Rachel. He originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. After seven years of service in the Church, he was called to be a financial advisor with Thrivent. His current vocation, helping people achieve financial clarity and be good stewards of the gifts they have been given, reinforces his personal mission to help people improve themselves. In addition to 14 years of experience at Thrivent, he is a CFP® professional, which means he has passed rigorous coursework and an examination to prove fluency in all aspects of financial planning and a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, a designation earned by financial professionals who take a values-based approach to financial matters for those who practice the Christian faith.

I have been serving my clients as a Financial Advisor at Thrivent since 2015, with the goal of building long-term relationships and helping people feel confident in their financial decisions. I'm proud to serve the community I grew up in as well as the surrounding area. Whether you’re just starting out or preparing for a meaningful retirement, you deserve personalized financial guidance driven by what’s important to you.
My wife, Naomi, and I have been married since 2007, and we have two children: Micah and Maya. I love spending time with my family, attending church, watching the Packers and coaching my kids' sports teams.

Shannon James
FIC, BFA™
As a licensed financial professional authorized to provide advisory services, I am equipped to conduct a thorough review of your overall financial situation and offer tailored, written recommendations designed to help you achieve your long-term objectives. Through our collaboration, we can work to strengthen your financial position, protect your financial future, and invest with purpose while effectively managing your assets. Additionally, we can explore more tax-efficient strategies for managing your finances, develop plans for leaving a meaningful legacy, and build greater financial security for your loved ones through special needs planning. I can also assist in addressing advanced estate planning requirements and ensuring a smooth and equitable transition of your business through strategic business continuation planning.
I am married to Joseph, and we are proud members of Kennerly Temple Church of God in Christ (COGIC). In my free time, I enjoy needleworking and taking road trips to explore the diverse landscapes and cultures across the United States. I have been with Thrivent for three years and am passionate about giving back to the community. I actively support several charitable organizations, including Wine to Water, Room at the Inn, and Crisis Nursery. In addition, I have participated in or led more than ten Thrivent Action Teams, dedicating my time and efforts to initiatives that strengthen and uplift my community.
