About Your Hosts:

Prior to Five Oceans, Marc Campbell, CFP®, was a Financial Advisor and Chairman of the Board at TCI Wealth Advisors, a $3 billion multi-office Registered Investment Advisory firm. 

But as a lifelong entrepreneur, Marc realized it was time to jump back into the excitement of building a new business. And there couldn’t have been a more perfect partner for this new venture than Chris Girbés. 

They believe that entrepreneurs need specialized financial advice. As such, they are committed to delivering an offering that addresses their unique needs and life strategy opportunities.

Before Five Oceans, Chris Girbés, CFP®, spent the past decade working in various capacities within the financial services industry. 

As an entrepreneur, Chris never shied away from sales or from taking a risk. However, the opportunity presented itself to start Five Oceans and do this business the right way with his friend and mentor, Marc Campbell.
