Hi, I'm Chris. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and founder of Purpose Financial Planning. Having spent years in the industry, I noticed a need among younger families who didn’t have access to the type of financial advice they were looking for. With limited options, many were having to turn to robo-advisors, YouTube videos, and Reddit forums to try and figure it out on their own. But there's just too much to keep up with for busy families trying to navigate work and family. Who has time to also become an expert on saving, investing, taxes, retirement, and every other financial discipline? I set out to change that when I launched Purpose Financial Planning – a boutique firm that works exclusively with young Christian professionals, business owners, and their families. Rather than focusing on retirees, I wanted to help families who are working to build wealth today. In fact, having access to professional advice and biblical wisdom now means the benefits can compound over decades! Purpose Financial Planning exists to help young families live out God’s Purpose through good financial stewardship. As your personal CFO, I focus on your financial picture so that you can focus on the things that matter to you... things like family and your career. My typical clients are high-earning professional or business owner in their 30s or 40s. They are working hard to balance the demands of your family and career. They want to feel confident they're making the right financial decisions for their family's future. They want a financial advisor who shares their values and can help them build their wealth while enjoying an abundant and generous life.

After a decade of working for multiple Fortune 100 companies in the financial services industry, I decided to take my talents to South Beach. Okay, technically just south of Atlanta. While guiding families and business owners through the intricate world of finance was gratifying, I recognized that the impact of my work shouldn't be confined to those who met certain investment minimums. I didn't want to be limited by the products my firm offered, or worse, the act of selling itself. As I embarked on starting my own firm, I had a crystal-clear vision in mind: no more sales pitches, no more commissions, and no more corporate jargon. I aimed to sit on the same side of the table as my clients, providing them with the fiduciary standard I'd want for my own grandmother. I was determined to end the era where my own cousins and fraternity brothers were deemed unfit clients simply because they didn't have a quarter of a million dollars to invest. I was weary of contributing to the cycle of the rich getting richer while others struggled to find their way. For far too long, individuals who resemble me have been systematically denied access to the tools and resources necessary for building wealth. Although I believed I was fighting for the greater good, I realized I had unwittingly become part of the problem. So, now, I'm taking action to be the change I want to see. I invite you to join me on this transformative journey.
