Christopher Godbey
I am a Wealth Management Advisor with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in Las Vegas, Nevada. I take a comprehensive, relationship‑focused approach to helping clients manage and grow their wealth. My process begins with truly understanding each client, their family, financial situation, priorities, and long‑term goals. From there, I design a customized and flexible wealth management strategy that adapts as life and market conditions evolve.
My clients benefit from access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America, allowing me to help address the full spectrum of their financial lives. I am driven by a passion for providing exceptional service and guiding clients toward the financial future they envision.
I began my career in the financial industry in 2014. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of financial planning and wealth management, allowing me to fulfill my commitment to serve as a trusted advisor and resource for the individuals and families I work with.
Before entering the financial field, I earned my bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Georgia in 2012. Prior to college, I proudly served four years in the United States Marine Corps, completing two tours in Iraq. Leading Marines in combat was one of the greatest honors of my life, shaping the discipline, integrity, and commitment I bring to my work today.
Originally from Georgia, I now reside in Las Vegas. I’m a proud parent of two wonderful children, born in 2015 and 2017. Outside of work, I enjoy helping others succeed, spending time with family and friends, traveling, and watching sports especially football, softball, soccer, and hockey.
My mission, first and foremost, is to understand you and what matters most to you. Armed with that information I can ask thoughtful questions -- listening carefully, then understanding in detail where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. I help you design and implement a personalized plan intended to help you and your family pursue financial goals while helping manage investment risk. My approach is to focus on potential solutions that can help turn goals into reality.
Bringing fresh perspectives to your financial life
The financial decisions you make today can help determine the future you build for yourself and your family. Carving a clear path forward starts with connecting your life and finances. A Merrill advisor provides access to the investing insights of Merrill and banking capabilities of Bank of America to help you make informed decisions as you pursue your goals.
