Hi, I'm Chris! I believe that a well-crafted plan and a commitment to lifelong learning are key to building a secure financial future. My career in financial services began in 1994, but my passion for practical, well-thought-out solutions was shaped much earlier through a background in science. I earned my degree in Pharmacy from the University of Wisconsin, and though my professional path led me to finance, I still celebrate my roots as a proud Badger—even if my summers are now spent much closer to home along the Grand Haven lakeshore.
Building Meaningful Financial Strategies
My approach to financial planning is all about seeing the big picture—understanding each client’s unique goals, values, and aspirations. With designations such as Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), I focus on helping clients build, preserve, and pass on their wealth using strategies that are as individualized as the people I serve. Staying active with organizations like the Financial Planning Association, the West Michigan Estate Planning Council, and the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce CEO Roundtable helps me stay connected, informed, and engaged with both my profession and the community I love.
My wife, Kim, and I love living in Grand Rapids, where we’ve had the joy of raising our three children and are now proud grandparents. Family is my inspiration for everything I do, and I bring that same level of care and commitment to every client relationship.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your financial journey, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out by phone, email, or through our website to start creating a personalized plan that works for you.
