About Me

Chris has been helping individuals and families work toward their financial goals since 2013. He began his career at Edward Jones and joined Thrivent in 2018, drawn by the opportunity to provide guidance that aligns financial planning with personal values. Chris later helped expand Thrivent’s presence by opening offices in St. Petersburg and Lakeland.

Chris lives in Bartow, Florida, with his wife, Sierra, and their family. Family is central to who he is, and that perspective carries into how he works with clients—listening carefully, building strong relationships, and focusing on what matters most to each person he serves.


Chris helps individuals and families gain clarity, confidence, and guidance they can rely on as financial goals and life circumstances evolve.

Client outcomes clients can expect:

  • Gain clarity around financial decisions and next steps
  • Feel confident about where they are today and where they’re headed
  • Prepare for retirement income with confidence
  • Manage investments with a long‑term, disciplined approach
  • Protect family and loved ones from the unexpected
  • Align financial decisions with personal values
  • Have a trusted guide as life and finances change


As a Thrivent financial advisor, Chris is supported by a Fortune 500 organization with more than 100 years of experience helping people make the most of all they’ve been given. Thrivent combines financial strength with a values‑based approach, offering resources, stability, and long‑term support so clients can feel confident today and into the future.


Whether you’re just getting started or looking for guidance on your next step, Chris welcomes the opportunity to connect. Meetings are available by phone, virtually, or in person—whatever works best for you.
