About Billy Stone

While 2020 has brought many frustrations for all of us, I\'m excited to share that, by God\'s grace, I have made a career change that combines my passions in a way that I have not been able to fulfill previously. People are my passion. Serving, supporting, guiding, mentoring others. Finding solutions to complex situations is my gifting, as indicated by my 25 years in engineering. Financial wellness and giving is my heartbeat. And Thrivent enables me to combine all three. In June I began my journey with this incredible Fortune 500 financial services company. Established in 1902, Thrivent is a Not-For-Profit fraternal organization. Yes, not-for-profit. Not only do we donate millions of dollars back to the communities we work in throughout the country, our primary focus is helping individuals plan for their futures, provide for their families, and give back to their communities. As my co-worker has shared,\"Thrivent is the biggest company you\'ve never heard of.\"Being able to blend my passion for assisting people with their financial goals while helping provide them a greater sense of security and stability through all phases of their lives absolutely thrills me. I look forward to building on my experience to help create a bright future for my clients by connecting their wants and needs with Thrivent\'s portfolio of exceptional and proven products.
