When he is not working, Christian lives in Cumming, GA, with his beautiful wife Randi, daughter Elliott, son Sawyer, and Great-Golden, Lily. He and his family enjoy spending time outside, swimming, boating, fishing, walking, hiking, (not) doing yard work, and exploring all that north Georgia has to offer.

Our Values
Who we are. How we serve. Why we’re here. What you can always expect.
Mutual Respect
We believe in the power of every client’s individual story. We celebrate and welcome all forms of diversity. Come as you are: Our door is always open.
Integrity
As your financial advisor, we believe we have the most important job in the world. We do not take our fiduciary responsibility to you lightly. In fact, we take it so seriously that every decision we make as advisors and as a firm is centered around your best interests.
Transparency
Honesty is the cornerstone of trust. As your financial partner, you can count on complete candor. We will always tell you what you need to hear, even when you may not want to hear it. We’ll be just as open about what we know as what we don’t know.
Community Involvement
Just as our clients are building their legacies, our greatest hope for our practice is to leave the world a better place than we found it.
