Chris NelsonSenior Wealth Advisor

Chris graduated from Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business in 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Business Management and Finance. He began his career in the financial services industry in 2009 when he joined Independence Wealth Strategies. In March of 2016, Chris joined 1847Financial where he assisted individuals and business owners with extensive planning, including estate and legacy planning, income protection, and asset management. Now, as a member of the GVA Wealth Management team, Chris credits much of his success to strong strategic alliances with accountants, attorneys, and property and casualty agents.  On top of that, he also says that he would not be where he is today without the strong guidance and mentorship of his senior partners. 

Chris currently resides in Hellertown, PA, with his wife, Danielle, and their 3 children, Ethan, Charlotte, and Brayden.  In his free time, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, and outdoors – specifically golfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and riding his bike. Chris enjoys coaching his 2 boys in different sports and traveling to see the World. He loves getting to know people and looks forward to continuing to build relationships that allow him to help his clients with all their financial needs.
