Kathy and I had the privilege to speak to the seniors at the Heimach Center on Legacy and Estate planning!

Legacy and Estate planning is about more than documents—it’s about making thoughtful decisions today to help protect the people and things that matter most to you tomorrow. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to share information, answer questions, and help attendees feel more confident about planning for the future.

Thank you to the Heimach Center for the opportunity to connect with such a wonderful group!

Key takeaways:

☑️ Markets are high, but gains are concentrated and valuations are elevated.
☑️ Today’s headlines can be loud—resist the urge to overreact.
☑️ The key to steady progress is diversification* and a long-term plan.

As Financial Advisors, our role is to help you evaluate your investments, evolve your strategy and confirm your mix meets your goals. So reach out if you have questions or want help fine-tuning your current financial plan.

*While diversification can help reduce market risk, it does not eliminate it.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

Super proud parent over here! My girl participated in the Founders Fair today. She and 32 other kids were able to exercise their creative and entrepreneurial sides and sells their products at their booths! Practicing what it’s like to be a business owner and everything from the budgeting to the sale and everything in between! She worked so hard and I’m so proud of her; left with almost a complete sellout! Thankful to be in a career and work for a company like Thrivent that fosters these conversations with my kids early on. Preparing them for the future now!
Huge thank you and shout out to everyone who came to support her!

Please join us for this workshop and lunch on us! It’s fantastic information, you will not be disappointed! Also doesn’t hurt that we’re a good time 😊

Join us on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 11:30 am at Dekalb Chamber in Auburn, Indiana for a complimentary workshop discussing the options you may have with your IRA and how to best protect your loved ones from unwanted tax consequences.

Contributing tax‑deferred dollars to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be a powerful way to build long‑term wealth. However, those tax advantages don’t last forever—income taxes will eventually be owed when the funds are withdrawn. This workshop explores strategies that may help reduce the tax burden for both investors and their heirs. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of planning opportunities and will be encouraged to continue the conversation with a qualified financial advisor.
