Kathleen S. Bowen is celebrating her 27th year
in the financial services profession and has a commitment and passion for the business like never before! She started her career right out of college in 1982. With the support of her father and the mentoring of his wealth management advisor, she has stayed the course. Her father's spirit and work ethic imprinted itself on her life and business to this day. "I have weathered up and down markets, good and bad times, but the dynamics of planning have become such an important part of an individuals success that I feel more valuable than ever".

"Blending Passion with Expertise"

Over the years Kathleen has engaged and represented clients from all professional avocations. Kathleen made a decision 7 years ago to pursue her passion of Food & Wine. She attended the Cook Street School of Fine Cooking in Denver, Colorado and earned her professional training in Classic French and Italian Cuisine. "After investing the time it required to graduate from the program, I realized how difficult and time consuming the culinary industry is" states Kathleen. "Chefs work very hard and have a great deal of pride in what they do. Often they don't have time to take care of themselves and their families, so I decided to focus on supporting the Food & Wine industry doing what I know best." It has been an epiphany to blend my expertise with my client's goals and planning objectives. I immediately joined the ACF Denver Chapter and became involved in any manner that I could. Now she is investing her time and resources partnering with the ACF across the country and providing educational, financial workshops for the Food and Wine community. Kathleen offers securities and investment advisory services through NFP Securities, Inc.

As an Executive Wine Sommelier and a Chef of Wine Arts, Kathleen blends her passion with her expertise in working with people in this industry in financial planning today.
