Chris and his team were incredibly quick to respond. Their professionalism and expertise were evident from our first meeting. Chris took the time to understand my financial goals and crafted a personalized plan that exceeded my expectations. He helped me distinguish the difference between my defined contributions and defined benefits pension decision, providing clear and concise explanations that made these complex concepts easy to understand. Chris and his team are always available to answer questions and ensure I feel confident in my financial decisions. Although I’ve only just started using his services, I am already impressed with the level of support and guidance I’ve received. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable financial adviser. More...

Quick response, personal and knowledgeable. Provided options based on what my personal goals were. Did not feel like I would be obligated to follow a “cookie cutter” style of financial management. Had a unique situation and was looked for a unique style of financial guidance. Highly recommend. More...

What do you love most about your job?
When you work as a financial advisor, you get to meet all kinds of people. Whether you work with individuals, advise employers on their retirement plan offering, or have a wide range of clients of all sorts, everyone is different, with a unique situation that requires you to come up with solutions to meet their specific needs. You get to dig deep into people’s stories and find out what’s important to them so you can in turn help them plan to preserve those things and protect what matters most to them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working for many larger institutions before starting my own financial firm taught me a lot about the industry. What they do right and what they do not so right. My goal was to build on the great practices I learned in my many years in the industry and improve on items that I felt were lacking. I wanted to build a financial practice where the client is always put first, where they have impeccable service and aren't left with wandering questions, where their fees were competitive and fully disclosed, and lastly I wanted to ensure I could offer any product and no so without being incentivized to sell my own product! Today I run that firm and I am very proud of what I have built.
Why should our clients choose you?
Here is a little bit about me. I run a financial services shop that is fully independent. Being independent allows us to have more investment flexibility and most importantly helps keep costs down! Meaning, we are not tied to or incentivized by any product or company. We will always recommend what is best for you.
