Christopher R Scearbo
Partner and Wealth Management Advisor
Chris’ journey with Northwestern Mutual started in college; a time when most students are still trying to figure out what they want to do when they grow up. Chris’ experience has been a bit different in that he’s always known what he wanted to do, and he knew it revolved around helping people achieve financial freedom (no word on that whole "growing up" business yet).
As a college graduate, and starting his career as a Financial Advisor, Chris never imaged that in ten years’ time, he would be the CEO of a ten-person team. Chris is most proud of the culture he and his colleagues have created at Sankaty Wealth Management. He believes that Team Sankaty is wired to deliver -- to pay extreme attention to detail, and to bring massive value. Chris and his team have built and continue to grow upon their ability to be a top-tier firm in the wealth management space. In his words “we’re the real deal.”
Chris wants his clients to know that he and his team wake up every day, ready to serve. Chris operates his business with the mentality that there is a material difference between someone who simply helps manage your money, and someone who is willing to be a thought partner throughout your life. That’s exactly what Chris and the Sankaty team represent - money partners who are not sitting across the table form you, they’re sitting next to you. Chris fundamentally believes that money is meant to be used as a source of fuel to live life to the fullest. From his perspective, the highest form of wealth is to be able to do what you want, with who you want…and that requires very intentional planning.
Chris resides in Hingham, Massachusetts with his wife, Alissa, who he met in 2015 serving on a mission trip in Honduras. Chris and Alissa are the proud parents of daughter, Evelyn, and twins, Winston and Willow. Becoming a dad has inspired Chris in ways he never thought possible. The responsibility he feels for his children’s future and well-being has only reinforced his passion for helping others understand the power and security that are afforded through thoughtful financial planning.
Chris and Alissa enjoy traveling across the world to foodie towns and tasting the best each city has to offer. New England is certainly a region for the seasons and Chris loves taking advantage of the seasonal activities his beautiful state has to offer. In the winter, he loves to hit the slopes (Ski the East, baby) and in the summer, he enjoys playing golf (i.e. feeding golf balls to the tree-line one ball at a time).
