During my 30 year career in financial services, I have learned the importance of developing a very clear understanding of my client’s needs and desires as it relates to financial matters. I do this through lengthy consultations with each of my client's so that I can focus my recommendations based on your financial goals and my perception of your personal risk tolerance.

Having gathered all pertinent information from my client, I create a financial plan tailored for your specific situation. I then, using the entire array of investments at my disposal as an independent financial planner, construct a portfolio for the individual. After reviewing the portfolio with my partner (also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) I present it to the client for approval. Only after the client and I agree on the investments do we put the plan into action. Our follow up meetings keep you focused on the long term nature of planning, not the near term gyrations of the financial markets.

In addition to my professional designation (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™), I have several securities licenses including: Series 24, General Securities Principal; Series 7, General Securities Representative; Series 63, Uniform Securities Agent State Law Exam; Series 65, Uniform Investment Advisor Law Exam. I also hold an Insurance License issued by the State of Florida for Life Insurance and Variable Annuities.

I am also very active in the community. Currently, I am the past President of Stop! Children’s Cancer and the past President of the North Central Florida Estate Planning Council. Additionally, I serve on the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, Professional Advisor Council. I have served on the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Gainesville, as a gubernatorial appointee for the Board of Directors of the Early Learning Coalition of Alachua County. I am a past member of the Board of Directors of Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club.

My wife, Nori, and I have three grown children. We enjoy tennis, hiking in the Rocky Mountains and snow skiing. I also make time for the frustration of the game of golf!

Please give me a call at 352-225-3132 or email chris@nfwealthadvisors.com and I'll do my best to help find your answer.

I am the past President of the Sunrise Rotary Club of Gainesville, Florida where together with my fellow members, we work to conquer hunger, improve the health and sanitation of our community, support education and job training, and so much more. As we say in Rotary, "Service Above Self."

I also serve on the Board of Directors for the St. Francis House Homeless Shelter currently as Treasurer, but also previously as the President and Vice President.

My wife Nancy and I are also active supporters of the Climb For Cancer Foundation in Gainesville, Florida, helping to raise money to fund cancer research. In January 2006, we both climbed Mount Kilimanjaro as a fundraiser to support the foundation.

Service is a key part of my success in life. Through the helping of others, I've been able to maintain a positive outlook on life, and that has become a chief element in helping to plan sound futures for all of my clients.

My background in running a small business has taught me that where there’s a will there will always be a way, so far that has served me well at here at North Florida Wealth Advisors. I feel fortunate to be a part of the team.

As the assistant for the professionals here at North Florida Wealth Advisors I have been presented with a unique challenge. A challenge to help facilitate paperwork processing and maintaining schedules, a challenge to manage our office - striving for the smoothest of day to day operations. A fun part of the challenge has been arranging client events. I’m fond of interacting with all the wonderful people who walk through our door or give us a call; nothing makes me happier than helping.

Most of my work deals with getting people on the right track to succeed. I helped create our service models because I wanted to be available for those who would otherwise go unnoticed. If you are just beginning your journey through life or have a number of years to go before retirement, I want to talk with you. Starting with the team in the summer of 2016 I’ve had the great fortune of learning from the experienced advisors here at NFWA. It’s been such a pleasure to meet the clients we work with and I look forward to getting to know you better. It is my goal, in the long run, to see you and your children or grandchildren to and through retirement.

Please feel free to contact me at kgc@nfwealthadvisors.com.
