About Christopher

I did not expect my greatest education to take place while drinking 25-cent coffee at the pharmacy counter in Jarrettsville.

I got a great education at Loyola Blakefield High School in my formative years and a focused degree in finance from the University of Richmond, but my truly valuable lessons came from my father.

From 1997 to 2005, when our office was in Harford County, my dad and I would go out together every morning for a cup of coffee. During that half-hour ritual , I learned from my dad that integrity and honesty would lead to more success than any other attribute.

Although I was driven by my dad's success, I also knew I wanted to forge my own path, to grow a small consulting practice into a robust wealth management office.

I was often reminded that many second generation businesses fail - this was not an acceptable outcome. So with an excellent foundation, I set out to grow our business to offer more services to help our clients pursue their financial dreams while maintaining the core values of the firm my father started in 1978.

Today, our firm is made up of 14 outstanding professionals. We manage more than 10 times the number of assets we did in 1997. Our office has moved to a wonderful office in Baltimore County. Although we've grown, our focus on integrity and honesty has not wavered. I believe in our motto, "Big enough to serve you, small enough to know you."

A lot has changed in 20+ years. My wife and our three children keep me on the move, while Dad is spending more time on the golf course. Despite that, Dad and
I still try to grab coffee every chance we can - McDonald's has senior coffee for 50 cents!
