			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Jennings received his Bachelors of Science degree in 1996 from Virginia Tech and began working as a civilian contractor with the U.S. Navy as a budget and finance analyst in the LANTFLT long range planning office.  While this work was rewarding, it was very macro in nature and his desire to help people on a more personal level prompted a transition into the world of personal finance in 2001.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Unlike a lot of advisors in the industry that have stock broker or insurance agent backgrounds, Chris came into the industry with planning as his focus.  <strong>Retirement income planning,</strong> <strong>wealth transfer, and divorce settlement</strong> have become <strong>his specialty</strong> over the years.  Chris has helped guide countless Retiree’s, Widows and Widowers, and Divorcees through some of the happiest and toughest times in their lives.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Chris believes that while investments and insurance have their role, they are meaningless without a <strong>sound, conservative, financial strategy</strong>. Along with helping to develop the strategy with the client, he also matches up and manages the appropriate investment objective, product, or account type with the strategy.  He likes to say he matches up the “What” with the “Why.”  Implementing a strategy though is only the beginning, and he and his clients regularly hold strategy review appointments to ensure that they continue to meet their financial goals as their lives change.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Professionally, Chris holds his Life &amp; Health Insurance licenses in multiple states.  He also holds his Series 7 and Series 66 Securities registrations in multiple states.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Chris is very active as a volunteer in the Hampton Roads community.  As a youth, he earned his Arrow of Light from Pack 6 and his Eagle Scout from Troop 6 in Chesapeake.  As an adult, he has volunteered his time as a Den Leader, Pack Treasurer, and Pack Committee Chairman for Pack 6 and is currently the Three Rivers District Finance Committee Chairman.  He also returns to Troop 6 to speak about how important it is to fulfill the scout law as an Eagle Scout in today’s world.  He looks forward to his son, Will, becoming an Eagle Scout.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>As a very proud Hokie, Chris is very active promoting the schools motto of Ut Prosim or “That I May Serve.”  He does this by serving as the President of the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association.  Under Chris’s leadership, the Chapter has been awarded the “Outstanding Chapter Award” for the last ten years from the National Alumni Association.  He was recognized nationally and awarded the “Chapter Officer of the Year” award from the National Alumni Association in 2005 for his service to the over 7,000 Virginia Tech Alumni living in the Tidewater Chapter area.  He also been asked to lead break out sessions dealing in the areas of Chapter Leadership and Organization, Web site Development, and Chapter Promotions at the National Alumni Chapter Officers Forum held each year in Blacksburg.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Chris is a life long resident of Chesapeake. He is very proud to serve his clients and his community but he is <strong>most proud</strong> to be the father of Emmalina and William Jennings.</p>
