Aaron’s investment career began in 1996 and has touched many facets of the financial world. For nearly a decade, Aaron published investment research focused on health care companies. He also has provided a variety of consulting services for mergers and acquisitions and start-up businesses. This deep and varied background has been of particular benefit to our many business-owner clients. In 2002, Aaron began to work with wealth management clients and fell in love with the opportunity to make a positive, long-lasting difference in the lives of clients.

Aaron received his bachelor’s degree in finance from the Carlson School of Management and finance MBA from the University of St. Thomas where he was a part of the startup team for the Aristotle Fund, a student-managed investment fund that is part of the Opus College of Business and serves as both a real-world investment vehicle and a hands-on educational experience for high-achieving MBA students.

He has served on the board of directors of Safe Care Mission International which provides orphanage and free daycare services in Maneadero, Mexico. He has been involved with other ministry work and missionary opportunities in Mexico for the past 10 years. What started as a one-time family mission trip has evolved into deep roots and life-long relationships in this community.

Aaron is a lifelong learner and can regularly be found with a book in hand. He resides in Plymouth with Rochelle, his wife of 28 years. They have four adult children with whom they love seeking new adventures. When not in the office, you might find him golfing, SCUBA diving, skydiving, competing in competitions at iFly, or hiking somewhere off the grid.

Barbara Mahr joins Kingdom Legacy Advisors as a Wealth Advisor with over 35 years of experience helping individuals and families explore strategies to give them confidence in choices for their financial future. Her passion for knowledge, information and detail supplies her desire to serve clients with excellence.

Barbara’s career in finance began as an accountant/enrolled agent with a CPA firm in tax preparation and financial planning. Barbara became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM) in 1988. Barbara enjoys combining tax-saving strategies for clients with multi-year comprehensive financial planning to provide clients with choices about lifestyle and retirement. Further studies in behavioral finance integrated traditional finance with psychology and neuroscience to improve understanding of the decision-making process and help clients understand their emotions and reactions to complicated markets and news.  

In 2020, Barbara completed further graduate level studies, becoming an Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor. This specialized training provides expertise in asset allocation, investment analysis, risk analysis, and other aspects of investment management. 

Outside of finance, Barbara is a devoted supporter of several charities, especially in education. Sponsoring students in Guatemala, Haiti and Africa, she is always looking for ways to encourage support of those in need with collaborative efforts to become self-sufficient. Her favorite quote is from M.Loane: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” 

Barbara has volunteered with Give Us Wings who work with families in Uganda for over 20 years. A Partner in Hope and Family-to-Family program partner, Barbara was the Recipient of the Give Us Wings 2023 Restoring Hope Award.

Barbara lives in Lexington with her husband Patrick of 49 years. Traveling is a regular activity for her and Patrick.

Austin Lindberg serves as a Financial Planning Analyst at Kingdom Legacy Advisors, where he helps clients navigate their financial journey through strategic planning rooted in their values. He began his interest in finance through the insurance industry where he built a career for over the past decade.

Austin began in the insurance world after graduating from North Central University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. His intrigue with insurance was kindled by a professor who framed the industry as “A means to protect what people care most about and the opportunity to carry them through tragedy, should it strike.” As an insurance advisor, Austin developed the skills necessary to communicate effectively and connect intimately with clients, highlighting their priorities, and guiding them to specialized solutions. 

Austin is passionate about helping clients align their values with the right solutions to create, preserve, and enhance their legacy. After a decade of meaningful years in insurance, he’s excited to broaden his impact—shifting from a narrower focus to a more comprehensive approach through financial planning. 

Austin has been married to his wife, Amy, for five years, and they have two dogs, a cat and chickens. Austin lives in Coon Rapids and enjoys exploring the great outdoors. Austin enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, spending time with family and is an avid reader.

Away from the office, Karla is a gifted gospel singer and songwriter! She has a three-track demo album titled Higher Place.

Thomas Stewart is a Financial Planning Analyst at Kingdom Legacy Advisors, where he supports clients with thoughtful, values-based planning. His passion for personal finance began in high school, inspired by the influence of his parents, biblical stewardship principles, and a desire to use money as a tool for freedom and generosity.

With a degree in Information Systems from North Central University, Thomas launched his career at Optum, where he honed his leadership and operational skills in a dynamic, purpose-driven healthcare setting.

While working through college to graduate debt-free, he developed a growing interest in investing and real estate and purchased his first rental property just months after graduation. He has since spent thousands of hours refining his approach to budgeting, saving, and long-term planning—all with a heart to help others steward their resources well.

Thomas lives in NE Minneapolis with his wife, Abbie, and is actively involved in their church, Everyday, where they serve on the worship team and in the prayer room. He brings the same intentionality to his work that he does to ministry—helping others align their financial lives with their faith and long-term purpose.
