Larry D. Housman is a financial advisor and team leader of the Housman Group at the Paducah office of Baird. He brings more than 35 years of experience to the table when meeting with his clients in 32 states. Although today's technology advancements have brought many conveniences to the business world, Larry prefers occasional face-to-face visits to get caught up on his clients' lives whenever possible.
While growing up in western Kentucky, Larry frequented his granddad's sign company, watching the sign painters' hand-paint the signs. Larry also enjoyed the years he spent learning and working in the drugstores run by his dad and his business partner. This was a time in the world of pharmacies after the soda fountains, but before the big box stores, a time when the owners knew the customers'; names and were part of the community. The value of that cohesiveness between a business and its patrons was something that he learned early on. Today, that bond between Larry and his clients is formed through the dialog that goes on during the three stages of a successful plan: conversation or information gathering, implementation and monitoring.
At the Housman Group we believe in the value of information and education. For 20 years we have hosted a widely listened-to radio show called "Dollars & Sense," aired on Thursdays and Saturdays as well as podcasted. The show breaks down many of today’s complexities of the financial world and shares the Housman's’ opinion on how current events may affect your financial plan.
Larry and his wife Kelly have been married for 34 years and have four adult children and one granddaughter. They all are UK Wildcat grads except the youngest daughter, she will be a Murray State University graduate. Larry and Kelly attend Lone Oak First Baptist Church, where he serves as a deacon and is on the finance committee. On Larry's off time he can be found with his family grilling or boating on one of the local lakes. One hobby that Larry enjoys, going back to the days of his granddad's sign company, is the lost art of hand-pinstriping and hand-lettering.
