Experience
Chris, the winner of the Association of Financial Adviser’s Rising Star of the Year Award in 2007, founded Financial Design for Life in 2005. He has grown his business into a thriving financial advice practice servicing the needs of Gen X and Y.
Chris is also the co-founder of The Humanitarian 1 Percent; an organisation that coordinates humanitarian expeditions in developing countries and provides fund raising support to lesser known charities.
Chris says “My experience consistently tells me that many people are happy to just exist without truly understanding the possibilities that life has to offer. Therefore, helping a client uncover their true path, then encouraging them walk it, is the real value of our role.”
