Blairsville Union County Chamber of Commerce

Hi, I'm Elijah Eatherly, a Financial Advisor with Thrivent Financial. Born and raised in middle Tennessee, I attended Lipscomb University, where I met my wonderful wife, Georgia. We married in 2020 and moved to her hometown of Blairsville, GA. I have a passion for helping individuals, families, and business owners navigate their financial journeys, providing personalized strategies to achieve their goals. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and working with my church and local non-profits.

I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your financial goals!
