Lori is a dedicated and committed employee. She genuinely looks forward to heading to the office every morning. Growing up on a dairy farm, her parents modeled the value of integrity and a strong work ethic, and Lori brings that to work every day. She responds to clients’ requests as soon as possible and strives to deliver a positive client experience. It brings her joy to go above and beyond for a client ‒ sometimes even surprising them with a song-filled birthday greeting!

Originally from Halma, Minnesota, Lori graduated from Mayville State University with a bachelor's degree in business administration. She jumped at the chance to move to the beautiful city of Duluth a month later. Her first job opportunity as a wire operator in the Shearson Lehman Brothers office started her 30-year career in the finance industry. She was working at UBS, formerly PaineWebber, before joining Ascential Wealth Advisors in 2011.

Lori loves living next to Hartley Park with her husband, Wade Rasch, and she is currently navigating the adventures of parenting adult children! She enjoys staying active, running, mountain biking, volleyball, and spending plenty of time outside camping and working in her garden. For relaxation and inspiration, Lori loves a good heartwarming sports movie or Jodi Picoult novel and has found a new community of worship at her new church, Eastridge Community Church.
