Joined the Board of Directors in 2022
I am a financial advisor with Thrivent where I help clients organize, plan for and invest in their financial goals. Prior to Thrivent, I worked in banking for many years of my career serving and educating low-income communities on how to acquire and build their credit, save for their future and plan for the unexpected. Anytime I am not working, I am either on the golf course or tennis courts. I am an avid traveler and love to explore quaint small towns all over Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the U.P. of Michigan with my significant other.
I found Exodus Lending through our current executive director, Anne. I was looking for new opportunities to volunteer and contribute my skill sets to the community and became acquainted with Anne through Prepare + Prosper’s financial coaching program for Minnesotans.
Who is one person who inspires you and why?
One person who inspires me is my father. He immigrated to the U.S. from Laos with nothing but the shirt on his back and created his own version of the American dream. He always wants to do anything and everything he can to help others and I try to use those same attributes in my day-to-day life and career goals. He is my everyday superhero.
