Chris Gehrts has been dedicated to the retirement industry since 1998, bringing decades of experience and a passion for helping people plan for their future. Over the years, Chris has worked extensively with plan sponsors, committees, and participants—whether in large group settings or one-on-one consultations.

Chris’s expertise spans plans of all sizes, from start-ups to those managing hundreds of millions of dollars. He has partnered with plan sponsors across diverse industries, including faith-based and nonprofit organizations. Before joining SRP, Chris spent eight years on the recordkeeping side with Securian and later The Standard.

A graduate of St. Cloud State University, Chris holds degrees in Marketing and Economics. He is licensed with FINRA Series 65 and earned the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®) designation through Fi360.

For Chris, the most rewarding part of his work is helping younger employees understand the importance of saving for retirement. “When it clicks with them, you know you’re making a difference and helping them make life-altering decisions,” he says.

Outside of work, Chris enjoys time with his family—his wife, four children, one grandson, and their dog, Sadie.
