Meet Our Team

The Lohmeyer-Bourne Financial Group was founded in 2002 as a succession to an established practice at Piper Jaffray. Piper Jaffray was acquired by UBS Financial Services in 2006, and the team's branch was acquired by Stifel in 2009. Throughout these transitions, the Lohmeyer-Bourne Financial Group has continuously provided high-touch, team-directed comprehensive services to our clients.

Within a collaborative team structure, we provide individuals and families with personalized attention and customized investment strategies based upon a careful and thorough understanding of their financial objectives and risk tolerances. We work closely with clients to identify their primary goals, including retirement, wealth management, estate planning issues, tax-efficient investment strategies, education funding, insurance planning, and risk management strategies. Once we have a grasp of our clients' situation, we develop customized long-term plans designed to help generate returns while mitigating risk to their wealth for current and future generations. We also collaborate closely with our clients' tax and legal advisors, and other trusted advisors, to develop cohesive financial legacy strategies.

Tom Lohmeyer
Senior Vice President/Investments
Branch Manager

Tom began his financial services career in 1968.  During the first several years of his career, he managed a solo practice in his hometown before switching his focus to advising Midwestern professional practitioners and small business owners.  This experience led to managing a retirement planning division for a Midwestern investment services company, which eventually progressed into working exclusively with executives of large companies with more than 25,000 U.S. employees.  After years of traveling across the country, Tom returned to Lawrence in 2002, and our team was formed.

Tom graduated from Emporia State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business.  Out of the office, Tom and his wife, Joyce, enjoy the empty nest lifestyle that allows them time with family and for traveling.  They reside in the wooded community of Cedar Creek, where they enjoy a constant variety of birds and wildlife.
