“I love when people have three goals that are all competing and you figure out how to put this puzzle together to solve all of them. And immediately the wheels are turning. And I’ve got this spreadsheet with all these numbers in it, and I’m figuring this thing out. That’s really fun.”
Chris has enjoyed a lifelong passion for numbers and the extraordinary stories they can tell. More than 25 years ago, her career began as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, with more than 10 years spent at the Northern Trust Company as a financial planner and investment manager.
Chris provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management to institutional clients, business owners, senior executives and high net worth individuals and families. Chris is a member of the 401(k) Investment Committee at Keating & Associations and, before joining KA, Chris co-chaired the Investment Committee for Alera Investment Advisors.
Chris is married and has two adult children and two golden retrievers. She enjoys baking and reading.
