Our Dedicated Team
Christopher Mullis
Christopher Mullis started Laurus Financial in 2019. He's been in the financial services industry, however, since 2007, when he became Insurance Licensed.
Many people in his profession spread themselves thin, trying to be as many different things as they can. Chris’ focus is on one area of the financial puzzle: Keeping clients’ money safe. He believes that true diversity in a portfolio is having some or part of your money outside of risk.
Chris puts a lot of time into his business and does everything he can to be a trusted source of help to clients trying to accomplish their financial goals and protect their money. He enjoys the challenge of finding the best and most secure options for clients he can. He strives to be the solution to anyone’s frustration with the average advisor in the financial world.
Prior to founding Laurus Financial, Christopher Mullis was a senior VP at Howe Insurance Services. Then, he was the co-founder and director of marketing for an off-shoot of that company, Phoenix Insure, Inc.
Chris has always been a “numbers guy” who strives to learn something new whenever possible. He is dedicated to taking care of his clients, investing significant time into his business to be a trusted resource for those seeking to achieve their financial goals and protect their assets. Enjoying the challenge of finding the best and most secure options, Chris aims to be a solution to anyone’s frustration with the average financial advisor.
Living in Plainfield, Indiana, with his wife and three kids, Chris values family time, often reminding others that “kids grow up fast,” and he strives to make a positive impact on their lives. When he’s not helping clients, he enjoys vacationing at the beach and engaging in activities like hiking and snowboarding.
Chris is also a proud pet owner, sharing his home with two dogs, Kimmy and Rozzie, and a cat named George.
