Financial Coach Biographies
Mikaila Dahlseng Bio:
This topic of financial health is particularly relevant to meas I’ve recently tried to juggle the responsibilities of “the real world,” I’vecome to recognize the value of honestand open conversations with peers and friends regarding money. I enjoy the challenge of budgeting and balancing spreadsheets.I look forward to thinking about how to implement healthy strategies in my own life as well as helping others achieve financial health.
Alison Tasler Bio:

I truly believe that God will meet you where you are at in life. I am a caregiver (mom of 3, nurse and wife) around the clock and fully understand being busy along with the pursuit for meaningfulness in life.
Honest.
I am far from an expert on finances or even coaching. No experience. You are it! What I have is a passion to help and support others through both the exciting and challenging hurdles in life. I love to see others accomplish goals that we never considered possible!
Thinking.
I think experiencing life together is so much more enjoyable than trying to figure out tricky stuff solo. Being a community gives us more traction for God to give us guidance to how we best handle our money.
Casual.
I am willing to be open, flexible and creative with how we connect to make changes happen in your life that will bring the financial freedom dream you desire to reality.
Nick Tasler Bio:
I am a husband, a father of three little boys aged 6, 4, and 1, and a small business owner.For much of my early adulthood, I was pretty much a little boy myself when it came to personal finances.I was frugal in some areas, yet had a very carefree attitude about money in many other areas.A few years after choosing to start a family, I realized that my laissez-faire attitude about our money was preventing me from the being the person I wanted to be and from doing the things I wanted to do, never mind the impact it would have on our new children.That’s when my wife and I decided to take back control over our lives by taking control over our money.That was four years ago, and that decision has changed our life and our faith in very powerful ways.I’d like to pay it forward by helping you achieve whatever goals you have for your finances.So that’s my story. I’d love to hear yours.
Eric Sybesma Bio:

There are two great windows into our priorities: calendars and checking accounts. My wife and I have a combined family of six children, and calendars and checking accounts maintain daily relevance for us.
Honest.
Finances can overwhelm any of us and affect our person and our relationships for bad or for good. How can we best align financial planning with the type of people we want to be and the values that are important to us?
Thinking.
How do we get there from here? The ideas might come from both of us, but the solutions will be yours to own. I’ve received financial coach training from Thrivent, but I won’t offer financial prescriptions. I’m here to support and encourage you and act as a sounding board as you pursue your own alignment goals.
Casual.
Financial decisions are often hard, but it doesn’t have to be hard to talk about. Confidentiality and an encouraging environment is what I can offer. Let’s find a coffee shop or a picnic table to discuss your goals.
Grace DuddyPomroy:
I am a newly married young adult. When I graduated from college and went on to graduate school, I had a big financial wake up call. For the first time, I had to juggle paying my bills, managing my debt, saving money and living a social life all on a small budget. I learned quickly how to live fun and frugal life that balances saving, spending and sharing my money. As a recently married person, I have had to reevaluate my money habits again as "I" became "we."
I am convinced that no matter your budget, you can find healthy and balanced ways to share, save and spend your money that reflects your values. While talking about money can be difficult, as coaches, we are here to walk beside you through the challenges and help you create a solid financial plan for you and your family. Whether you are drowning in money issues, just floating along from month to month or beginning to swim through making a financial plan, we are here to help. Check out Grace’s blog…
