Our Team

Christopher Nolan is the founder and president of General Manhattan Financial. Christopher has been involved in the financial services industry for two decades. He was born and raised in Las Vegas and attended Bishop Gorman High School. Christopher has a Business Finance Degree from the University of Utah with a focus on investment theory and economics. While at the University of Utah he was an executive member of the Financial Management Association. 

Mr. Nolan started his career at Fidelity Investment in 1999. While at Fidelity he worked in multiple areas including client service, trading, tax specialist, investments, and fixed income. Christopher spent a year abroad in Africa and Asia conducting a global economic study, focusing on the flow of capital, goods, and information.  He resumed his career as a financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial where he focused on financial planning, portfolio management, and small business strategies. Christopher and Christine started General Manhattan in 2008, married in 2011, and enjoy spending time with their three children. 

Christopher currently serves as Chairman of the Board for the Nevada Counsel on Economic Education.  He previously was a Board of Director at the Plus Credit Union and volunteered as a small business counselor at SCORE. He has been asked to speak to the National Investment Company Service Association, Bishop Gorman High School, and has made appearances on the local new channels as a financial specialist. His security registrations with LPL Financial includes the series 7, 63, 65 and is licensed for Life and Health Insurance.

Christine is licensed with insurance and two FINRA registrations, Series 7 and Series 66 (currently held at LPL Financial). She grew up in California, but landed in Las Vegas in 1999 after ‘Brave’ing the cold in Peoria, IL attending Bradley University and competing for their forensics team (they hold the most national titles than any other college academic or sports team in the nation). She graduated from University of Nevada, Las Vegas with an undergraduate degree in Business Communications, graduate certificates in New Venture Management and Public Management, a Master of Public Administration graduate degree, and is continuing with her PhD in Public Affairs.  She continues to embrace the community with her charitable endeavors, most notably as past board president of Chefs for Kids and the current Vice-Chair of the Nevada Council on Economic Education. Christine finds cooking to be an art, world travel a necessity (she married in Florence, Italy), believes family is the core of happiness and sadness, is joyfully married to her husband, Christopher, and is completely enamored (and fatigued) by her children, Morgan, Amelia and Declan.
