The Willkommen Committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce recently visited Thrivent Financial – New Ulm Area Group to welcome two new financial advisors, Cole and Maddie Ranweiler.

Maddie, a 2020 graduate of Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School, returned to New Ulm after attending college in Wisconsin and finishing her degree at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She now works as a Medicare Broker, helping clients 65 and older navigate enrollment and choose the right supplement or advantage plans. She’s excited to bring Medicare services back to Thrivent and enjoys helping both individuals and small businesses with health and retirement planning.

Cole, also a New Ulm native and graduate of New Ulm Public Schools, earned his degree in business management from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He focuses on holistic financial planning, guiding clients through college, family, and long-term investment goals. He also manages advanced accounts that extend beyond traditional mutual funds.

Recently married, Cole and Maddie are proud to serve the community they call home.

Thrivent’s New Ulm Area Group includes three advisors and a five-person team dedicated to helping clients plan for every stage of life.
