Christian Drayer, M.S.

Christian Drayer believes money is a tool—not a destination. When used thoughtfully, he believes it can create the freedom and opportunity to build a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and uniquely your own. As an Associate Financial Planner at Elwood & Goetz, Christian is passionate about helping clients gain the knowledge, clarity, and confidence they need to make thoughtful financial decisions and build a better tomorrow.

Christian earned both his Bachelor of Business Administration in Risk Management and his Master of Science in Financial Planning from the University of Georgia, graduating magna cum laude after completing both degrees in just four and a half years. He is currently pursuing his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification.

While at UGA, Christian served as treasurer of a student organization, managing the finances of more than 100 members. He was also actively involved in the UGA chapter of the Financial Planning Association and GIS. Before joining Elwood & Goetz, he gained valuable industry experience with Endurance Planning Group in Atlanta.

Christian is drawn to financial planning because it combines his passion for learning with his desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. He is excited to begin his career with Elwood & Goetz in Atlanta, where he can grow alongside an experienced team while helping clients navigate the financial decisions that shape their futures.

Outside of work, Christian is happiest outdoors—whether golfing, hiking, or simply enjoying a little fresh air. He loves spending time with his friends, family, and fiancée and approaches life with the same curiosity he brings to his career. A lifelong learner, Christian is rarely far from a podcast, book, or article that gives him something new to consider.
