About Shawn Blobaum
I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional since 2008. I provide 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 by God. I'm here to help you do just that.
I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL in 1996. I also acquired my Master of Science Degree from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL in 1998. I am a member of the Waterman Lions Club since 2008.
My wife, Molly, teaches kindergarten in Shabbona, IL and has been a teacher since 1998.
Our family attends Grace Lutheran Church in DeKalb, IL where we have been active since 2002.
