Chris Stankowski

We're happy that you found your way here!  First, there's' a few things you should know about me.

I enjoy working with young, busy families and business owners.  Life can be hectic and I strive to brings clarity to what's most important.  Our team also works with established professionals in the tech, medical and healthcare, marketing/advertising, and engineering fields.  With all of our clients, our goal is to work with you to prioritize the goals for today and tomorrow and develop strategies to get you there.

In my personal life, I live in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia with my partner, Anna, and our chocolate lab, Liberty.  We enjoy taking advantage of this great little neighborhood by supporting many of the local restaurants and coffee shops each week.

I'm also a proud graduate of Temple University and the University of New Hampshire.  Prior to starting my planning practice, I spent a few years working in higher education with a focus on student development.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
