Chris Hobart has never been one to follow a conventional path — not in life, and certainly not in financial planning. His entrepreneurial spirit sparked early (at age nine, he launched a restaurant in his parents’ basement), and it’s that same drive that led him to create Hobart Wealth, a firm committed to delivering honest, personal, and, above all, impactful financial guidance.
Chris believes financial planning should be about more than numbers, it should empower people to live life fully and purposefully. That mission has guided him for over two decades and earned him national media recognition from outlets such as CNBC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. Whether mentoring clients or fellow advisors, Chris is passionate about providing strategies that are as practical as visionary.
Beyond the office, Chris and his wife, Renee, share a deep love for the performing arts and actively support arts education in Charlotte. He also previously served on the board of Junior Achievement of Central Carolinas, an organization aligned with his passion for financial literacy. When he’s not leading Hobart Wealth, Chris often travels with his daughters, Sloane and Blythe, fly fishing, or tending to his koi pond, accompanied by Winston, the family’s miniature dachshund and Chief Bark-eting Officer.
