Chris Bartsch
PFA, BA
Chris began working with Salmon Arm Financial in 2018 at the age of 30 after selling his previous successful business venture. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in Political Science and specialization in History from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. While at school Chris was an active member of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity and had the privilege of serving as the chapter President in his final year. He recently just completed his studies and passed the exam to become a certified Professional Financial Advisor. Chris brings a youthful energy and refreshing perspective to the family business.
While not at work, Chris thoroughly enjoys spending his free time on the golf course, ball diamond, and volleyball court. Above all – it's the quality time with his loved ones Katharine, Oliver, and Charlie. The work/life balance is vital and as we all know – its family first.
Driven to succeed using all the tools at his disposal, Chris is eager to earn your trust and build a great working relationship – whether it’s for your life insurance needs or employee benefits desires – his organization, communication, and commitment to you is second to none. His office prides itself on local, trusted service, and as a team; they have happily and successfully served the community for 40+ years.
