Christopher Atteo

Christoper Atteo has had to work really hard for his entire life to make a life and a career for himself. The first major test came when Chris was just 9 years old. That was when his father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since that diagnosis, his father has not been able to work, which means the rest of the family, including Chris, has had to pick up as much of the slack as possible. As the oldest of four children, Chris has been working ever since to do his part and help keep his family moving forward any way he can. In the early days, he delivered newspapers and later on, he worked as a cashier and as a cook, because he felt it was his duty to help the family.

After Christopher Atteo graduated high school in West Islip, New York, he decided to take some financial courses at State University of New York (SUNY) in Farmingdale. He discovered that he had an aptitude for numbers and finance, so he soon worked to obtain Series 7 and Series 63 licenses, which allowed him to become a broker.
