Chris Heilman, Certified Financial Fiduciary®

Welcome to FFA Wealth. I’m Chris Heilman, Managing Partner and a Certified Financial Fiduciary®

Since graduating from Old Dominion University, I have spent the last 20 years working across every channel of the financial industry—from large banks and major wirehouses to the independent space. That diverse experience taught me a valuable lesson: being an independent advisor is the best way to truly place a client's interests as the top priority. It allows me to offer unbiased advice without corporate pressure, which is why I hold my Series 7, Series 66, Life and Health licenses, and Certified Financial Fiduciary designation with pride.

My goal is simple: to help you retire when you want, and how you want. I believe true wealth is about the freedom to live your desired lifestyle with family and friends. I am proud to bring this philosophy to clients all across the country—from the coast of Coronado, CA to the coast of Virginia Beach, VA, and as far north as Kalamazoo, MI to as far south as Orlando, FL.

When I’m not serving clients, I’m usually traveling with my wife, Susan, and our son, Colton. You can also find my wife and I cheering on Colton as he plays soccer and golf for Atlantic Shores Christian School. I also try to play a bit of golf myself—though I’m arguably much better at financial planning than I am on the fairway!
