New Member Spotlight
Welcome New Member David Houck

Background: I grew up in New Jersey and moved to the Detroit area for work, where I met my wife, Tina.  (She is a former Rotary member, so some of you may know her.)   Since then, we have lived in Roswell for the past ten years.  For those who are wondering, the weather is much nicer in Atlanta than it was in Detroit. We live in East Roswell-Horseshoe Bend. 

Interests: We don’t have kids, but we do have one cat named Lady who is enough of a handful for us.  We are both pretty heavily involved at our church in a number of different activities, and I am hoping to get even more involved in the community at Rotary.

Career/Purpose I spent 25 years in tech with both Cisco and Google and am now running a financial services practice for Thrivent.  It was a big career change, but I was not finding tech as fulfilling as I once did, and wanted to be able to help people answer those big questions in their lives about retirement and taking care of their families.  We are a holistic financial services company focused on financial planning, investment management, and protection solutions (life, income, long-term care, and annuities).  We work to put together personalized solutions to help our clients focus less on money and more on the things they care about.  We also do a lot of work with churches and non-profits to help them better achieve their missions and support the communities in which we live.

Why I joined Roswell Rotary:  I am looking forward to connecting and getting to know everyone at Rotary and seeing what we can do together in Roswell! I have already spend time working on the Blood Drives. And am working with Public Image Committee. I am eager to plug in where I am needed!
