Hannah Chapman APMA®, CRPC®, CFP® | X² Wealth Planning
I started out in the financial industry as a financial services representative at a small local bank in a little mountain town in 2006. That's where I first found my spark for finance, and my spark for mountains and hiking! In 2007 my husband and I moved from our little mountain town to Cincinnati, OH, and I moved from banking to financial planning and never looked back. I care deeply about my clients. I love seeing them achieve all the things they set out to do, and being a trusted advisor on their journey through life.
In my free time, you can find me reading, weightlifting, or cuddling up and watching a good TV series with my husband. Our three kids keep us on our toes, and constantly remind us why we want and need to leave the world a better place than we found it. And I'm also at the stage of parenthood where every Disney movie makes me cry (why do they all have to be so sad?!). My big goals in life are to travel to every continent to hike through mountain ranges and learn about different cultures, and to change the way the financial services industry serves women. I hope my journey will cross paths with yours one day.
