JAMIE SMEAD

Marketing Coordinator

Jamie Smead joined the team at Gaughan & Connealy In June of 2015. She brings with her a wealth of marketing expertise and knowledge. She has excelled in her strategic marketing efforts for five years and is now bringing those advanced skills to estate planning.

Though she was born and raised in Jefferson City, Missouri, Jamie moved to Joplin, Missouri after high school. There, she attended Missouri Southern State University. She received her Bachelor of Science from MSSU. Her major was marketing and she received minors in psychology and French. She went on to receive her MBA (Master of Business Administration) from MSSU in Joplin as well. After an historic tornado destroyed much of the city, Jamie relocated to Kansas City. There, she served as the marketing manager for a notable real estate group.

We have now welcomed Jamie to the team at Gaughan & Connealy as our Marketing Coordinator. Jamie is responsible for the planning, execution and oversight of the entire marketing strategy of Gaughan & Connealy.

For fun, Jamie enjoys sports and fitness. Her favorite sports to play are softball, volleyball and golf. She also loves to support her favorite local sports teams, such as the Royals, Chiefs, Jayhawks and Sporting KC.

“Chris and his staff were awesome to work with. I felt like I was their only client with the personal attention and time they spent with me setting up a trust. Chris did an excellent job of making sure I understood everything I needed to and things were being set up for our families specific needs and desires. I look forward to having Chris continue to be our estate planning attorney.”

“Chris and his team led us through what we felt was a complicated process in a very organized manner. Everything was explained to our satisfaction and then our decisions were executed quickly. All we had to do was sign documents. Most important, the after support has been excellent. If we have a question, the answer is always.....let us take care of that for you! Everyone in this firm is unpretentious, helpful and very knowledgeable.”

“For about 10 years my husband and I kept saying, "we need to prepare a trust or a will. We had already planned and paid for our funerals but trying to figure out the will or trust was overwhelming to us. We received an invitation in the mail to attend a seminar. After meeting with Chris we both agreed that Chris and his firm were whom we wanted to execute our Trust documents.”

“My wife and I took advantage of the free evening program put on by Gaughan and Connealy back in 2013 and later hired Chris Gaughan to do our estate planning. First thing that sold us was not only Chris's professionalism, but his knowledge and his passion for what he does. The process was very easy and thorough. Chris brought up scenarios/issues that were unforeseen but were important to have in our plans. ”
