About Robert Lawson
Growing up in eastern Kentucky taught Rob several important lessons: to love his fellow Kentuckians and to have their back. This is demonstrated daily in his support for charitable causes benefitting these communities, his life’s work in financial planning, and the love he has for his family.
Always the ‘steady one’, Rob possesses innate leadership qualities which serve him well as a Wealth Advisor at Thrivent, a Board Member with both the Christian Appalachian Project and Habitat for Humanity of Lexington and coaching of his son’s sporting events. Aside from these important responsibilities, Rob also loves his University of Kentucky Wildcats and has a fondness for things starting with the letter ‘B’: boxing, barbecue, bourbon, and Brittany.
Rob is proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. He provides personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. He is here to help you do just that.
