Since it was founded, GWA has continued to thrive and expand with offices around Texas and Pennsylvania.

Kris attended the Southwest Missouri State University Bachelor of Science in Finance program and is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary®, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™, Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor®, Certified Retirement Counselor®, and has passed the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ certification exam. He also holds FINRA Series 7, 24, and 66 securities registrations with Commonwealth Financial Network®.
