    Chris works closely with corporate executives, business leaders as well as successful individuals in the entertainment industry to help them grow and preserve their wealth, in an effort to achieve financial security. He understands the complexities and pressures they face, and helps them effectively manage their assets as their priorities and goals evolve over time.

    Chris learned first-hand the power of investing from his grandfather who worked in the banking industry in Paris, France. As he watched the stock market rise and fall, his grandfather taught him how changes in the economy impacted the markets. He set out to become a financial advisor where he could educate clients about important financial concepts and techniques, helping them navigate the markets, while making a profound impact on the quality of their lives.

    As a CFP®, he has a strong understanding of the major pillars that impact wealth, such as company savings plans, tax-efficient strategies, retirement and estate planning. 

    Originally from Chevy Chase, MD, Chris and his wife Devyn, along with their daughter Saylor, split their time between Los Angeles and New York City.

    In his free time, he enjoys skiing, golfing, jazz piano, sculpture and traveling to Europe to visit family. He is a member of the charitable organizations The Robin Hood Foundation, Children International and New York Cares.
