About Kristi Budin
I’m committed to helping individuals and families feel secure in their financial decisions and equipped to live generously. I believe financial planning is about more than numbers—it’s about people. That’s why I take the time to listen, simplify complex topics, and create thoughtful, personalized strategies designed to align with each client’s unique situation.
My husband, John, and I have been married since 1994, and we are blessed with three grown children. We are both financial advisors with Thrivent, and we enjoy working side by side serving clients from our shared office. We’re proud to call the Sparta area home and stay actively involved in our local community. We also enjoy volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.
