READING, PA – June 17, 2026 – Good Life Companies (Good Life), a partner to independent financial advisors nationwide, announced today that Christopher Whitcombe, CFP®, CRPC®, has joined Good Life Financial Advisors as an independent financial advisor based in Reading, Pennsylvania, after serving clients at Merrill Lynch for the past seven years.
A graduate of Lehigh University with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Whitcombe transitioned from solving complex engineering problems to partnering with individuals and families on their financial journeys. He earned the Certified Financial Planner™ and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ designations and brings an analytical, relationship-driven approach to financial planning and portfolio management.
Whitcombe’s move to independence reflects his commitment to providing personalized financial guidance that remains accessible, cost-conscious, and focused on tax-smart planning strategies. By joining Good Life and LPL Financial, he gains greater flexibility in how advisory relationships are structured, along with access to a broader range of investment opportunities beyond a narrow list of firm-approved products.
“Every client deserves a robust financial plan, regardless of how much money they have,” Whitcombe said. “Joining Good Life and LPL Financial gives me greater flexibility in how I serve clients, along with the support and resources needed to continue growing my practice in a meaningful way.”
“Chris represents the kind of advisor more clients are looking for today: approachable, thoughtful, and deeply focused on long-term relationships,” said Conor Delaney, founder and CEO of Good Life. “More advisors are looking to move away from large corporate environments that can prioritize production requirements, proprietary solutions, and larger account minimums over personal relationships and accessible financial guidance. Chris’ approach is centered on helping everyday families make smart financial decisions, which aligns closely with what we believe independent advice should look like.”
