Chris Castanes is originally from Fayetteville, NC. After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1985 he began his career in insurance. In 1989, he moved to North Myrtle Beach, SC.
After working with companies such as AFLAC, State Farm, Met Life and Northwestern Mutual (to name a few), Chris started an independent agency in 2009 which eventually became Surf Financial Brokers.
Chris had a specific goal in mind with the creation of Surf Financial Brokers, which was to offer clients a wide variety of affordable options from many companies, while taking care to stay in an individual’s budget. In other words, Chris wants his agency to do what is best for the client.
Chris is also the author of “You’re Going To Be Great At This!”, an irreverent book that gives the good, bad and ugly of a career in selling. He enjoys speaking to civic group and sales organizations. To find out more about booking Chris for a speaking engagement or his book, click here.
