Vanderbilt is happy to announce one of the newest additions to our growing firm, Financial Professional, Chris Farmer! Chris joins us from Columbus, OH.

Chris serves as the Founder & Independent Practitioner of Fortress Wealth Solutions and has been in the financial services industry for 22 years. He specializes in delivering holistic and customized solutions to high-net-worth individuals and families.

His favorite aspect of financial planning is the process of learning as much as he can about the families he serves and then crafting a plan that serves to further their unique vision of what success and happiness mean for them. Building and maintaining long-term, trusting relationships is at the heart of his mission. He takes pride in empowering his clients with the knowledge, guidance, and confidence they need to make sound financial decisions throughout all seasons of life.

He is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and a graduate of The Ohio State University in 1999. Chris has three adult kids who mean everything to him. When he’s not working with clients, he spends his time playing ice hockey and guitar as well as gardening and going on long walks and hikes with his 4-year-old Covid pup, Gonzo.

“I joined Vanderbilt because it is the perfect fit for my practice. Best-in-class infrastructure combined with amazing people and a family office feel. Most importantly we share a common commitment to having a positive impact on the communities we serve.” – Chris Farmer

“Chris fits Vanderbilt’s GRITT culture with his desire to help people build their financial futures as well as build personal relationships.” – Joe Trifiletti, President
