Kent Heinle, of Mandan, was among three financial advisors with the Dakota Heartland Group of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans who qualified for the organization’s prestigious Sierra level for 2009 achievements.

Heinle, along with James Frigstad and Jonathan Haugen, both of Bismarck, qualified for the Sierra level based on demonstrating outstanding service to members.

Frigstad, Haugen and Heinle are with Thrivent Financial’s Rocky Mountain Regional Financial Office, serving Thrivent members and their families in the surrounding communities by providing financial guidance and solutions to help them achieve their financial goals.

Nearly 650 of Thrivent Financial’s 2,500 financial representatives qualified for the Sierra level. Frigstad has been recognized for his performance two times, Haugen five times and Heinle one time.
