Meet the Business Owner

Henry L.

Business Owner

I was born in Charleston, SC in 1947 and grew up in downtown Charleston. I attended the local elementary and high school and graduated from North Carolina State University, cum laude, in 1969 with a BS degree in Mathematics.

After college, I volunteered for service in the US Navy, attended Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, and was commissioned a reserve officer in April 1970. I served as intelligence officer and navigator aboard a guided missile destroyer stationed in San Diego, California. While I was onboard the ship, we made three transits across the Pacific Ocean and saw a good bit of action in the Vietnam War. My active duty service ended in November 1972 and I actually remained in the Navy Reserve for another 23 years, retiring with the rank of Commander.

I joined my father and brother at C. T. Lowndes & Company on December 1, 1972 and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the agency. I am very proud to be the fifth generation of the Lowndes family to own and
