Chip is proud to lead The Donovan Financial Group in its goal of providing genuine, client-focused advice & customized investment management.  He believes that every individual, couple, family, business, and situation is inherently different, and therefore demands specialized attention to ensure each and every client goal, need, want, wish & expectation are communicated, discussed, and met. Chip's philosophy behind his business is one he takes incredibly serious. Not only because he feels this is the right thing to do for the right reasons, but also because it is how he was raised and how he was taught about life & business.

Joining UBS as a Financial Advisor in 2006, Chip came into the business at a very tumultuous time.  He joined his Father, Chuck Donovan, who was in his 33rd year of running an incredible business.  Chuck's reputation in the industry was only surpassed by his presence in the local community; at every turn doing anything in his power to improve and support the local area.  Chuck & Chip worked side-by-side, providing advice and support throughout the Financial Crisis of 2008.  The learning experience was invaluable for Chip, being able to observe, discuss, and manage the business alongside his Father during one of the most volatile & scary times in our recent history.  In early 2009, Chuck was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  After fighting with all he had, Chuck sadly lost his battle in October that same year.

Chip stepped into his role at the head of The Donovan Financial Group at 25, and to this day he still hears the advice and teachings of his Dad.  Chip still lives by the principles on which his Father built the business: clients come first, educate everyone as often as possible, empower those around you to be successful, do the right thing for the right reasons, give back often, and above all protect trust, as it takes a lifetime to build, and seconds to lose.
