    Chris is a senior member of the Palmetto Group who focuses on understanding each client so that the team can tailor their offerings based on individual needs and objectives. He draws on his extensive fixed-income experience to oversee income strategies, alternative short-term cash management strategies and lending needs.

     Chris is a Certified Financial Planner® practitioner and a graduate of the School of Commerce and Business at the University of Illinois.
