Keith is one of those rare individuals that always knew what he wanted to do when he grew up. At 16, he started reading the Wall Street Journal. When he began his career in banking, he laid out his career path that by the time he was 35, he would be an investment professional. He realized that dream at 25. When he was 35, he had opened his own investment firm, Souza Financial Group.

Travis then went on to purchase C. H. Smith Insurance Agency in 2014. With 24 years of experience in the insurance and financial industry, Travis enjoys meeting people and takes great pride in getting to know his clients on a one-on-one basis.

I never thought I would be looking for a different career at 56 years old but, as we all know, sometimes change is good. I’m really excited to join Souza Financial Group and for Keith to give me this opportunity. A little about me: I’m married to Mike, and am the mother of twin boys that are 26 years old and a daughter who is 23. They still keep me busy, even though they are adults. To help me with my empty nest, I have a mischievous kitten named Finn that is almost like having a toddler at home. When I have spare time, I like to spend time with family and friends, relax by the pool, shop and attend concerts. I look forward to meeting all of you and building relationships for many years to come.

My name is Lori Keith and I am thrilled to be a new member of the Souza Financial Team! I am married to Todd, with one son who will be graduating Bismarck High school this year and starting college in the fall.

In my prior career, I spent 31 years at Dillman Eye Care Associates. I enjoy cooking, gardening, swimming, and spending time with family and friends. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of you and look forward to getting to know all of you.
