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.

We have a long history of devotion to meeting the financial needs of the nurses and healthcare professionals at Kaiser Permanente. We take immense pride in supporting the people who help keep us healthy, and we make it our business to know the ins and outs of Kaiser Permanente’s retirement plans and benefit packages.

How We Work

Our mission is to get to know and understand your needs, wants, and long-term goals. We want to help you develop, implement, and monitor a strategy that’s designed to address your individual situation.
