Meet Our Team

Gould Insurance has been a family owned and family run business in Amesbury since 1934.
Robert “Bud” Gould was running the agency with his son Jay in 1995 when they purchased
C.B. Peterson Insurance Agency, also another family owned and run insurance agency in
Amesbury. During that merger Matt Sherrill went to work for the Gould family and has proudly
been with the agency since 1996. In 2016 Matt purchased Gould Insurance and
continues the tradition of caring for all the clients like they were our own family. Our agency,
like our tagline states, is “Community Driven – Customer Focused” we proudly support all the
amazing non-profit organizations as well as the schools in the greater Amesbury area.
 
In and around the Merrimack Valley, customers appreciate Gould’s focus on family and
community support combined with the highest level of service and knowledge of the insurance industry.

Matt enjoys spending weekends at camp, fishing on his boat.

He is most relaxed when restoring old cars. He’s a certified scuba diver. To unwind he loves to head out on his Harley and just wander on the back roads.
