Every shaded state on this map is where I have clients that I'm blessed to serve.

Some are when I started in Salt Lake City and stayed with me. Some moved to other states and asked if they could continue working with me. I tease my warm weather state clients that It's always a good idea to have clients to go visit when it gets cold in Colorado!

With technology it's easy to meet virtually, so if you have friends or family in any of these states, I'm happy to meet them! Getting to know people all across the country is a fun part of working with Thrivent.

I am honored to be apart of so many people's financial stories across 27 states!
