About Me
Hi, I'm Chris Grellas. As a CFP® Professional, and co-founder of ProsperPlan Wealth, I serve my clients with absolute integrity and dedication.
My approach is grounded in my Christian faith and conviction in treating others in the way I would like to be treated, as taught by Jesus in Matthew 7:12. I strive to always put my clients' best interests above my own, providing personalized financial planning that aligns with their unique needs and goals.
Following a Family Legacy
With an MSFA (Master of Science degree in Financial Analysis) from the University of San Francisco, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Sacramento State, and extensive expertise in retirement planning, Roth conversions, financial technology, and tax efficient planning, I am a student of all things related to investing and financial planning and am well-equipped to guide you through your entire financial journey.
As a Sacramento native, I have a deep connection and long history in the community, having been born and raised here. I am passionate about giving back, and often serve as a guest speaker at local schools, including my alma mater, Rio Americano High School.
Life Outside of Work
Beyond my professional life, I find fulfillment in serving at the youth group of City Bible Church of Sacramento and spending quality time with friends and family. I love cooking, often preparing a full rotisserie lamb for family gatherings.
My Greek heritage is a significant part of who I am, and I share my home with four cats named after famous Greeks: Leo, Elsa, Achilles, and Phila.
On winter weekends, you can find me skiing, and throughout the rest of the year, I enjoy attending and participating in local events. I live with my lovely wife, Tanya, and our beautiful daughter, Kaira, and I strive to balance my professional commitments with a rich and fulfilling personal life.
