Christopher Gaither
As a financial advisor, Chris is committed to educating and empowering his clients.
Driven and devoted to helping those around him succeed, Chris provides clients a quality standard of financial services that’s distinctly fashioned around their long- and short-term financial goals. He views his role as more than a job and looks forward to cultivating meaningful, long-lasting relationships with the clients he serves.
Growing up, Chris watched his father join the financial world and saw the positive impact he had on the lives of those around him through his work. Witnessing the joyful and prosperous relationships his father developed with clients and organizations in the community inspired Chris to follow a similar career path. The more he learned about financial planning, the more passionate he became about making it his life’s work.
Chris studied business management at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and has specialized knowledge in tailored financial planning, retirement income planning, professional asset management and preservation strategies. Prior to joining Raymond James in 2018, Chris served as a client service manager for Tandem Financial Partners.
Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Chris proudly resides in the Northshore area of his hometown. He’s deeply passionate about helping his community and has volunteered for multiple nonprofits since he was in high school, including the Chattanooga Foodbank, Young Life Leadership and The House Ministry, located in the Chattanooga campus of the University of Tennessee. He is also a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church. When he’s not at the office, you can find Chris golfing, duck hunting or playing music with friends.
