Chris Bulman

President, Founder and Leading Advisor

Christopher Bulman is focused on helping clients work toward their retirement dreams through a well-thought-out financial strategy for retirement.

Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Chris brings his Midwestern values of family and hard work into his role as a leader of the Bulman Wealth Group. He’s always believed in the value of hard work: during college, he owned a house-painting company, employing as many as 20 students a summer and painting up to 50 homes a year.

Chris earned his bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Kansas. He’s an Investment Advisor Representative who has more than 20 years of experience in financial services and is licensed in both securities and life insurance in California and Kansas.

Chris was the host of “Your Financial Compass” radio show and has written numerous articles on financial planning. He is a past member of the Folsom Rotary Club and served two terms as a Folsom planning commissioner.

Chris’ beautiful wife, Sarah, and their four wonderful boys, Reid, Luke, Liam and Colin, bring the most joy to his life. Most of Chris’ spare time is filled with family activities, including golfing, traveling and playing basketball, football or whatever the boys are into at the time.
