A Sailor Worth His Salt
Christopher Drew, Founder and President of BayTrust Financial is a Florida native, born in Fort Myers. Shortly after moving to Tampa in the spring of 2004, Christopher became highly knowledgeable in the health and life insurance arena, and later went on to obtain his Series 65 registration to become a registered investment advisor representative (IAR).
He evolved his focus to incorporate a comprehensive, client-focused approach to financial planning. Such discipline ensures that recommended programs encompass each client’s financial goals, time frames, and risk tolerance. With a custom plan in place and reviewed regularly, Christopher and his team strive each day, working one-on-one with his clients, to help them pursue their personal financial objectives. Through presentations at educational workshops and seminars throughout Florida, he is able to shed light on the ever-changing financial landscape by elaborating on ways to help protect assets and potentially maximize returns on their investments. Our goal is for our clients to feel financial confidence throughout their retirement.
In his spare time, Christopher enjoys spending quality time with his wife Mandy and their two daughters Manning and Charleigh. He also enjoys boating, fishing, and staying active with sports.
”We believe in empowerment through education. We can give you the compass, and the confidence, to achieve your goals.
