About Michael Zisko

I'm proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. I provide personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. I'm here to help you do just that.

Financial Advice That Starts With Listening

I’m a financial advisor who listens before I recommend. My job is to understand where you are today, build a plan for where you want to go, and offer strategies designed to fit your goals and situation. Sometimes that means we get to work right away. Sometimes it means building the map for when the moment is right. I work with self‑employed professionals, nonprofit leaders, pastors, families, and Christian‑valued business owners who want a real conversation about their money—retirement planning, emergency savings, risk management solutions including permanent life insurance when appropriate, and investment strategies aligned with how they want to live. And when you need support outside my scope, I can connect you with a professional network of estate attorneys, CPAs, and other specialists.
