Chris' Story
Chris spent the first 20 years of his career working for three publicly traded companies. During that time, he became intrigued by each of their 401(k) plans, so he spent a considerable amount of time studying each plan. Meanwhile, he noticed that his colleagues were intimidated by the process of selecting and allocating percentages to the mutual funds in their 401(k) plan. His eyes were opened and Chris saw a real opportunity to help people prepare for retirement, so in 2007, he decided to pursue a career as a financial advisor. Four years later, Chris opened his own firm, Heritage Financial Advisors, in Columbia, MD.
