To all who served and sacrificed for our freedom, thank you.

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.

First Action Team of 2026—and it set a high bar for the year!

It was an honor to help sponsor this event in support of Joe’s family, a dear friend of a member of our Christian Business Networking Group. As we gathered to grieve Joe’s passing, we were surrounded by an unmistakable sense of God’s presence, love, and comfort. We had an amazing turnout with over 200 guests come throughout the day!

The event was a tremendous success—complete with a Highland cow appearance, puppy adoption, tons of raffle items, live music, and BBQ for everyone to enjoy. Through it all, we were able to raise meaningful funds for Joe’s family, but more importantly, we came together to show them love, prayer, and support during a difficult time.

If you’re interested in how being a Thrivent member can help you live generously through Action Teams, feel free to reach out—we’d love to help!
