About Me
Welcome — I’m Chad E. Robinson,
Whether your finances feel simple and straightforward or multi‑layered and complex, you deserve a plan that brings clarity, confidence, and long‑term direction. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
I work with clients ranging from those who are just getting organized, to households managing numerous accounts, significant life events, business transitions, or more advanced planning needs. No matter your starting point, I’m here to provide guidance that’s clear, approachable, and tailored to your goals.
In 2013, I launched my career as a financial advisor, to build long‑term relationships and to be in it with clients—from the first conversation through each milestone that follows. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing thoughtful plans come to life over the years.
⭐ Family
I’m married to my wife, Aspen, and we have three daughters—Oaklyn, Avery, and Elsie.
Family is the heart of what I do. Understanding the importance of flexibility and presence in my own life helps me support clients who want the same for theirs.
Our Approach - Planning Philosophy
Your situation might be simple today or growing more complex over time. Either way, a strong plan starts with understanding what matters most to you.
1. Discover Your Goals
We begin by learning your story, your values, and what you want your finances to accomplish.
2. Design Your Strategy
For simpler needs, this may mean straightforward recommendations you can implement right away.
For complex needs, we build a coordinated, multi‑layered plan covering investments, taxes, protection, retirement income, estate considerations, and more.
3. Implement Together
No matter your situation, we guide each step—paperwork, priorities, timelines—so the process feels clear and manageable.
4. Review & Adjust
Life changes. Markets change. Goals change.
We proactively review your plan and adjust it to stay aligned with your current priorities.

Sarah Wood
I am grateful for the opportunity to support our clients and advisors each day as we work together to create clarity, confidence, and ease in their financial journey. I believe every strong client relationship begins with trust, and I take pride in helping ensure our office runs smoothly so each person we serve feels cared for, heard, and supported.
I joined Thrivent to make a meaningful impact behind the scenes helping our advisors focus fully on the people and community they serve. It’s rewarding to be part of a team committed to guiding people through life’s many chapters.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors, cooking, and helping on my family’s farm when I can. Community is important to me, and I love supporting my church by teaching Religious Education on Wednesday nights to the preschool class. I am also grateful for time spent with friends and family, who keep life fun, full, and grounded.
