The Fiduciary Promise

As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), we are legally and ethically bound to a Fiduciary Standard. This means we are required by law to act in your best interest at all times. No exceptions. No conflicts. No fine print.

Fee-Only Transparency

We do not sell products, earn commissions, or accept "kickbacks" from third parties. Our only source of compensation is the fee you pay us. This ensures our advice is completely objective and focused solely on your growth.

We are not beholden to a Wall Street bank or a corporate parent company. This independence gives us the freedom to select the best tools, technology, and strategies available in the marketplace to serve your specific needs.

Independent Advocacy

Our philosophy is a reflection of our team’s personal values. Meet the people who put these standards into practice every day.

Christopher Flis CFP®

I founded Resilient Asset Management because I saw a gap in the industry. Most advisors understand investments, but very few understand the unique complexity of a 20-year military pension or the tax-heavy reality of a successful solopreneur.

My passion for finance started in high school, but it was forged over two decades in the Navy. Whether I was flying combat missions or managing Navy Casualty, the mission was the same: Precision, Accountability, and Results. Today, I apply that same 'Standard of Care' to your financial life.

When I’m not analyzing tax strategies or rebalancing portfolios, I’m usually enjoying life in Downtown Memphis. I’m an avid runner, though when I'm not training, I get some extra cardio in while chasing my son, Emerson, or walking our four dogs. My wife, Christine, and I are proud to call this community home.

I've navigated these transitions myself, and helped others navigate their financial complexity. Let's talk about yours.

I believe that taking control of your finances builds agency and allows you to live a life of deliberate intention. My role at Resilient Asset Management is to ensure our firm’s strategic mission translates into a seamless, high-touch experience for every client. With over a decade of experience in communications and marketing, I focus on 'pulling back the curtain' on finance—turning complex strategies into clear, actionable execution for the families we serve."

My professional perspective is deeply rooted in the entrepreneurial world. Having led marketing strategy for small businesses and served as the Vice President of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce, I have a deep appreciation for the grit required to scale a venture. I am a passionate advocate for our solopreneur and small business clients, ensuring they have the clarity and support they need to build their own legacies. This professional background is balanced by my personal experience as a Navy Spouse; married to an EOD Technician, I possess a firsthand understanding of the unique rhythms and financial hurdles that define military life.

Director of Client Service & Marketing

Currently residing in Guam, I am a dedicated yoga practitioner—it was actually in an Ashtanga yoga class where I first met Chris! My husband, T.J., and I stay busy exploring the island and traveling with our daughter. Whether it’s an adventure race or a quiet afternoon in the yard, I thrive on staying active and living with purpose.
