“Personalized strategies. Purposeful planning. A future designed around you.”
Cassie Kowalski
Licensed Financial Professional | Retirement Planning & Life Insurance
Since entering the financial services industry in 2019, Cassandra Kowalski has built her practice around a commitment to something she believes is often missing from financial planning: a truly personal approach. Cassandra specializes in retirement planning solutions and life insurance, working closely with individuals and families to design financial strategies that reflect their unique goals, priorities, and vision for the future. She understands that no two families are alike—and neither should their financial strategies be. Every recommendation begins with listening. Cassandra takes the time to understand where her clients are today, where they want to go, what they want to protect, and what matters most to them. From there, she carefully evaluates the available solutions to help identify strategies that are thoughtfully aligned with their individual circumstances. Her clients can expect a level of care and attention that goes beyond simply selecting a financial product. Cassandra believes the right solution should serve a purpose within a larger plan—whether that means creating greater confidence in retirement, protecting the people you love, preserving wealth, or helping create a more secure financial future. Her philosophy is simple: your financial strategy should be built around your life—not the other way around. With a reputation for being thorough, intentional, and genuinely invested in the people she serves, Cassandra strives to create a planning experience that feels both sophisticated and personal. She believes clients deserve to understand their options, feel confident in their decisions, and know that the recommendations they receive were selected with their best interests and long-term goals in mind. For Cassandra, financial planning is about more than numbers. It is about protecting what you have built, preparing for what comes next, and creating a future that is meaningful for you and your family.

Connor Thompson
Licensed Life Insurance Broker
Connor Thompson has spent more than 15 years in the insurance and financial services industry. He began his career in health insurance with one of the largest agencies in South Florida. He quickly moved into leadership, helping train and manage an organization of more than 1,000 insurance professionals while working with clients across the country. But Connor’s perspective on financial protection became much more personal after the loss of his father. Experiencing the financial and emotional impact of losing a parent firsthand caused him to look more deeply at life insurance, retirement planning, and the importance of preparing for circumstances families often believe will never happen to them. That experience ultimately led Connor to transition from primarily health insurance into life insurance, income protection, living benefits, retirement strategies, and wealth accumulation and preservation. He joined Family First Life and rebuilt his knowledge from the ground up, learning multiple areas of the life insurance industry and how different strategies can work together to protect families in the present and prepare for the future. Connor believes financial planning should be understandable, personal, and built around real-life goals, not complicated terminology or one-size-fits-all solutions. Today, his mission is simple: help families protect what they’ve built, prepare for what they can’t predict, and create a stronger financial legacy for the people they love.
