Chris’s Bio
Professional
Shortly after graduating from Hilbert College, in Hamburg, NY, Chris started his career in financial services in 2003 at a firm in Orchard Park, NY. Starting at the bottom, Chris learned the essentials of the business while rapidly enhancing his reputation for delivering great customer service. Over the years, Chris obtained multiple professional designations, took on a greater role which positively impacted the success of that Orchard Park firm, and led to receiving Partner status.
In 2020, his desire to be independent led him to join Cetera Investment Services in Cheektowaga, NY. Cetera provides the ability to be objective and transparent with no required sales quotas. As a fiduciary, Chris believes objectivity and transparency are the cornerstones of the financial planning field. Chris is a member of the National Association of Christian Financial Consultants (NACFC)*.
