One of the things I love most about my work and involvement in the community is seeing people come together around a cause bigger than themselves. This weekend, my family and I were proud to support Ella's Umbrella at their annual 5K/10K. Jenna had a great run in the 5K, our boys enjoyed every minute of the park water features, and we spent time alongside so many others committed to making a difference. The best part of the day wasn't crossing a finish line. It was helping support an organization that funds critical research and advocacy efforts aimed at saving children's lives and supporting families affected by congenital heart disease. Grateful for organizations like Ella's Umbrella and everyone who helps move their mission forward.

Grateful for everyone at our church who donated school supplies to help local students start the year strong. 📚✏️ We were able to use a Thrivent Action Team to help support the effort, but what really stood out was the amazing generosity of so many people. I'm thankful my wife and boys got to be part of it too. As parents, we want our kids to see that generosity isn't just something we talk about, it's something we do. One of the things I appreciate most about Thrivent is how it encourages and supports members in giving back. If you'd like to learn more about ways Thrivent can help you live generously and support causes you care about, I'd love to connect.

Grateful for some time away with my favorite people. This trip was a good reminder of something I talk about often with clients—money is a tool, not the goal. It’s there to support what matters most, not replace it. For many of the families I work with, their priorities look a lot like this: time together, meaningful experiences, and being present for the moments that matter most. Same in our house. One of the things I enjoy most about what I do is helping people align their finances with those priorities—so their money is working for the life they want to live, not the other way around.
