Steve joined Thrivent in the fall of 1997 after a career as a wedding photographer. While he enjoyed being a part of a couple's special day, the weekends were spent away from his young family, and a new career in financial planning was truly a blessing from God.

He has enjoyed the many life transitions he has assisted in planning for, while building meaningful relationships with clients and clients whom he now calls 'friend'. Steve is truly a full-service Financial Advisor, with vast experience with life insurance, estate planning, and tax strategies in retirement.

Perry Flowers

FIC, CLTC®, CDFA®, BFA™

Perry is in her 6th year with Thrivent after spending 20 years working in a large variety of capacities and settings in the realm of Physical Therapy. She has always enjoyed helping individuals fulfil their potential and meet their goals, so financial advising has been no different.


She and her husband, Jeff called Hideaway Lake their home for almost 20 years. They moved with their son, Haden, to Tyler in 2020 so he could complete his primary education at Grace Community School and have recently returned to Hideaway Lake to be closer to their family. Jeff has worked for the USPS for nearly 30 years and is currently the Postmaster in Mineola. Haden now calls Lubbock home where he attends Texas Tech studying Criminology and Political Science. Wreck 'em!


Perry's interests as a Financial Advisor are strongest in college planning strategies and meeting, engaging and financially educating women. Perry has recently obtained her Certified Divorce Financial Analyst designation to further understand the complexities of financial planning strategy. When she's not at the office, you can find she and her family at the pickleball courts or playing golf or soccer with friends.

Helping others has always been a passion for Casey. Growing up in the world of agriculture, serving and supporting others became second nature. After graduating from Texas A&M University with a degree in Animal Science, Casey spent eight years in animal health and nutrition sales, working closely with cattle and livestock operators. He has since found a calling in the financial services industry, continuing to help clients achieve their goals in a new and meaningful way.


Casey truly enjoys meeting with new clients, developing personalized plans, and watching those plans turn into progress year after year. Providing individuals and businesses with a roadmap for the future through comprehensive financial guidance is at the heart of what he does. His family-centered approach is what makes him excited to be a part of each client's story.


Originally from San Augustine, a small town in East Texas, Casey now lives in Brenham with his wife, Haley, and their three daughters, Brooke, Quinn, and Reese. Since moving to Brenham in 2015, they have become active members of First United Methodist Church and several local organizations.
