About Us
Chris Robinette, MBA, LUTCF
Founder & Financial Planner
Chris is a native Oklahoman, born and raised outside of Oklahoma City. After high school Chris attended the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD where he graduated with a BS in Economics with honors. After traveling the world with the Navy, Chris returned to Oklahoma in 2009 to attend the University of Oklahoma, where he received his MBA degree.
Fresh out of the Naval Academy, Chris headed to Pearl Harbor for the USS CHOSIN. In 2005, Chris deployed to the North Arabian Gulf in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Upon return in 2006, Chris was selected to train as a nuclear engineer and would later help build and commission the USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH in Norfolk, VA.
With his mom passing while he was deployed, he came to realize and value the importance of proper personal financial planning and building a legacy. Chris has been striving since 2011 to help his clients build and grow their legacies while attempting to protect them from the sudden shock his family experienced.
Chris moved to Music City in 2011, where you can often find him cheering on the Nashville Predators, hiking, and exploring the gorgeous landscape Middle Tennessee has to offer.
In the decade since moving to Nashville, Chris has been an active board member for several non profit agencies and currently serves on the board for Songs for Sound. Chris is passionate about serving his community and hosts an annual casino night to raise money for multiple veteran charities each year. Chris has been recognized with multiple awards including Nashville 40 Under Forty (2013) and Veteran Business Leader (2015).
