About Chris Brooks

I’m Chris Brooks, a Financial Advisor with Thrivent based in Clayton, North Carolina, a proud Navy veteran, and a long‑time member of the local community. I work with values‑driven small‑business owners, veterans, and families who want their financial decisions to reflect what matters most to them.


My work focuses on helping clients gain clarity, reduce financial stress, prepare for life’s transitions, and build a lasting legacy. Through a values‑based, relationship‑first approach, I take time to understand your goals, your family, and your priorities so we can build a thoughtful plan that supports both your present needs and your long‑term vision.


From my home base in Clayton, NC, I proudly serve individuals and families across the United States, while remaining deeply committed to supporting our local and regional communities with dependable guidance and practical, accessible financial education.


Whether you’re planning for your family, navigating business growth, or preparing for retirement, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Meetings are available in person at the Raleigh or Smithfield offices, at your location, or virtually via Microsoft Teams, based on your preference and schedule.
