Chris began locally in the financial services industry after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 1992. After 23 years at Merrill Lynch, he recently moved his practice to UBS Financial Services to better serve his clientele. His philosophy and service model is simple: work with individuals of significant wealth to pursue their unique financial goals.

Chris employs a deliberate financial process combined with exemplary service to simplify the financial lives of high net worth clients. Although clients often enjoy similar wealth, their needs and goals are diverse and include income planning for retirement, estate planning strategies, and tax minimization. Then he develops investment strategies that leverage the broad array of offerings at UBS.

As a wealth management advisor, he works hard to earn clients’ trust and is committed to optimizing their resources to make the most of what they have.
