Chris Pollard
Chris Pollard is a West Point graduate, U.S. Army veteran, and principal of Great Path Planning in Monroe, New York. For over 15 years, he has helped high net worth families navigate retirement planning, focusing not just on growing wealth, but on what comes after the numbers. His work centers on helping clients spend, give, and enjoy what they have built without guilt or fear.
Shaped by military service and personal loss, Chris brings a grounded, human perspective to financial planning. After losing his mother at a young age, he developed a deep awareness of time that carried him through West Point, deployment to Iraq, and into his work today. He has seen that financial readiness alone does not guarantee peace. In Untangling the Golden Knot, he blends practical strategy with reflection, helping people step into retirement with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
