FOR ATHLETESWinning takes a team.
Twenty Four Wealth is one coordinated team of planners, tax strategists, investment specialists, and estate planning professionals working from the same plan.
We are here to help you turn a short career into the life you want long after the game.
Don’t make rookie mistakes managing your financial career
THE PROBLEMOn the field, you have a team working from the same playbook. Off the field, with your finances, that coordination disappears.
An asset manager runs your portfolio. A CPA files your taxes. Your agent handles the deals. Someone else handles insurance. But no one is in the same room. No one is looking ten years ahead.
So you’re left trying to hold it all together - when your focus should be on the game, not coordinating your financial team.
That's the rookie mistake: having plenty of advice, but no one coordinating the plan.
We designed Twenty Four Wealth to fix it.
You wouldn't take a snap without a playbook.
Why take a career without a plan?
Twenty Four Wealth's athlete division was built for the professional athlete whose earning window is short, whose calendar isn't their own, and whose financial life has a lot of people in it, all with their own opinions, priorities and agendas.
We built Twenty Four Wealth to be one team, working off one playbook.
Under one roof you’ll have your planner, tax strategist, investment specialist, and estate professional working from the same plan. Every move made in context of everything else. Every decision made with the next ten, twenty, thirty years, not just the next quarter.
The career is short. The plan makes it last.
"Football is only about 10% of your actual lifespan. The rest of it is what I have to be ready for. Especially with a wife and kids. Longevity means everything.
With Twenty Four Wealth, they educate you. You can pick up the phone and talk to Chris, or Mike or Tony in casual conversation. You don't get that anywhere."

The game changes. So does the plan.
The plan you need coming out of college isn't the plan you need coming out of the league. We work with athletes at every stage of the game. And long after it ends.
College & NIL
The first real money and the first real tax bill. We build the foundation before the mistakes get expensive.
Early Career
The contract lands. So does everyone with an opinion. We put the structure in place that funds the life after.
Peak Earnings
The window is open. This is when the plan does the heavy lifting. Tax strategy, investment coordination, and everything moving in the same direction.
Life After
The career ends. The plan keeps going. Turning what you earned into what comes next.

PRIVATE WEALTH ADVISOR
PRESIDENT - SPORTS DIVISION
Chris didn't come to this from the field. He came to it from the plan.
He's a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® who spent his career learning how to build a full financial life for people with real complexity. When he started working with athletes, he saw the same problem every time. The money was big. The window was short. And the advice they were getting was a slice, not a plan.
So he built the athlete division inside Twenty Four Wealth to fix it. The same team of planners, tax strategists, investment specialists, and estate planning professionals the firm was built on. Now focused on the reality of a professional career and the life that comes after it.
We're not former athletes. We're the team behind the team.
