Chris Scheib is the Owner of Scheib Financial.​ Chris'​ career as a financial advisor began in April of 1987, six months before "Black Monday," the largest single-day crash in market history. This turned out to be a grand lesson in patience and market recovery.However, his real career began at age eight, when he became a self-employed businessman by running the Scheib family chicken farm in rural Iowa. He was allowed to sell the extra eggs, but he quickly learned two lessons: First, that you cannot keep everything you earn--the chickens had to eat and needed care. And second, that a part of everything you earn is yours to keep. This marked the development of his signature 50% rule: half of your profit must be reinvested and the remaining half is for you to enjoy. By following this principle, he bought his first car outright at age 17, a beautiful 1974 Pontiac LeMans Sport Coupe, by writing a personal check from his own earnings. This laid the foundation for living a debt-free, stress-free life. He specializes in helping families meet their financial goals on time--from living within their means and paying off debt to college savings and retirement--ultimately learning for themselves how to live a more enjoyable, stress-free life.Today Chris also trains new advisors at Scheib Financial, and his unmistakable rally cry can be heard throughout the office celebrating every win. Chris is currently building an insurance agency with the Leazer Group selling mortgage protection (life insurance).DISCLOSURE: Registered PrincipalRegistered Representative, Securities offered through Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., a Broker/Dealer member FINRA/SIPC.
