About Laurie Dowd Gowdy

As a financial advisor, I am available to provide guidance in many areas. This includes life insurance designed to protect and provide for loved ones. I can help answer the question of “How much life insurance do I need?” and also educate about which type of insurance best fits the situation.

Informing individuals about investment options is another part of my work. Whether it is a monthly contribution to an IRA and a child’s college fund, a 401K rollover or other investment, I can provide options that will fit with the individual’s risk tolerance.

I want people to be able to dream about what retirement could look like someday, and to do that, strategies are needed. I want to help determine what works best for each person's situation.

On a personal note, I am married to Kevin, and we have two children McCade and Jannie. I love spending time outside on our Heritage Farm and helping with our Christmas tree farm. I also enjoy cooking, sports, my flower gardens, and Netflix!
