Chris in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
Chris enjoys traveling, listening to live music, engaging in sports, and spending time in New York City.
Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?
I like working at Mercer Advisors because it allows me to be part of a planning-focused environment where advice isn’t product-driven. I enjoy the collaborative culture across planning, tax, and investment management teams, which helps create more complete strategies for clients. It’s a place where I can keep learning from experienced advisors while contributing to work that is centered on long-term client outcomes.
What makes you tick?
What drives me is helping people make clear, confident financial decisions and knowing the work I do can have an impact on their long-term outcomes. I enjoy the process of breaking down complexity, finding structure in it, and turning it into a plan someone can act on.
