Chris Burgess

I moved to Hamilton in 1997 to attend McMaster University. When I arrived I had no concrete plan to stay or go following my time at MAC. However, what became abundantly clear to me during my time at McMaster was that I wanted to make Hamilton my home. After completing my Commerce degree I began my journey of becoming a real Hamiltonian by making Hamilton my home. I married my university sweetheart, bought a home and started a business in Westdale. My wife and I have added two Hamiltonians to our family tree since. We're all proud to call Hamilton our home.

The second best decision I've made in my life was joining Edward Jones in 2003. With an unrelenting entrepreneurial spirit in my heart and a strong desire to serve my community in my mind, I found that the Edward Jones opportunity offered me exactly what I was dreaming about. In hindsight, I am not sure that I was dreaming big enough.

I am now a partner with the firm and I am currently working with many families in the Greater Hamilton Area. Everyone of my clients and their families are important to us. We work hard to understand clearly what their goals and dreams look like. Once we have a detailed picture in our minds of what their dreams look like, we use an established process to create a personalized solution to conquer the challenges they face. We partner together with our clients over the long term to make sure that all of their hopes and dreams are realized.

It is truly a privilege and an honour to be a part of something so important for families in our community. In my (biased) opinion, there is no firm on the street that is better equipped to deliver client service than Edward Jones. As a partner, I am proud and excited everyday at the opportunity that lays ahead.

If partnership and service are appealing to you, please call or stop by our branch anytime. We're currently accepting a limited number of new clients.
