About Terry Hokaj
Today, I have over 21 years of experience with Thrivent. In my practice, I enjoy helping people prepare for retirement so they can enjoy the things they do with comfort and confidence. I also assist retirees with tax and estate strategies in order for them to leave as much money as they can to their kids, grandkids, and Churches or charities. While Thrivent does not provide specific legal or tax advice, we can partner with you and your tax professional or attorney. I am married to my wife Liz. I have two kids, Luca and Tara. When I'm not helping people with their finances, I enjoy competing in triathlons, running, swimming, and cycling. To date, I'm proud to say that I have completed 3, Half-Ironman-distance triathlons.
