My Why Story
My Why Story

One simple conversation with a financial advisor, at just the right time, changed everything for my family. As I was beginning my career in civil engineering, I didn’t fully understand what my family needed financially until I spoke with an advisor.


During that conversation, I realized just how underinsured we were—and how vulnerable our growing family would have been if something had happened to me or my wife. It made me see how easily people can find themselves in risky financial situations simply because no one has taken the time to guide them.


That realization is what led me to become a financial advisor at Thrivent. I wanted to help people protect what matters most and make confident decisions, so they can enjoy a fulfilling retirement and make choices that reflect the life they want to live.


That’s my “why.” And it’s what keeps me showing up every day with purpose.
