About Dan Dickhudt

With over 26 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing personalized financial guidance. This is my life's work and brings me such fulfillment. I enjoy making financial planning a simple and understandable process. I specialize in retirement planning, retirement income distribution plans, investment management, income tax efficiency, and estate strategies. I will take the time to assess your situation and develop a financial strategy designed exclusively for you using an appropriate combination of solutions and strategies. My wife, Laurie, and I attend Christ the King Lutheran Church in Southgate. We are a house divided with my son Spencer graduating from the University of Michigan with a master's degree in mechanical engineering, happily employed at Dynamic Motion Control Inc and my daughter Maya graduating from Michigan State University teaching at Northville Schools early elementary. In my free time I enjoy running, swimming, mountain biking, water skiing, downhill skiing, gardening in my koi pond, traveling, and spending time at the cottage. The 2025 highlight was our trip to Park City Utah for some hiking.

      My name is Lindsay Warf, and I have been part of Thrivent as the Office Professional for nearly three years. With a strong foundation in office administration, I excel at calendar management, meeting coordination, and keeping data organized. I’m always eager to learn new things and find ways to support my team, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.


      My experience spans over 20 years in the financial and credit union industry, where I constantly strive to deliver outstanding customer service to every client. Building lasting relationships and helping others is something I take great pride in.


      Outside of work, I’m happily married to Kevin, and together we have two wonderful children—Haydenn, who is 17, and Haylee, who is 10. We enjoy being active and spending time outdoors as a family. We’re also regulars at Metro City Church in Taylor, which is a big part of our lives.
