More:

Christine and her husband, Jeff, moved to the Quad Cities in 2013 when Jeff accepted a position at Deere and Company. Christine joined Quad Cities Investment Group in September 2013 and became a partner in 2015. Christine is our resident nerd and never met a spreadsheet she didn’t like.

Life provides Christine and Jeff with many exciting new adventures. In 2017, they welcomed their first child, Teddy – or as he’s known around the office “T-Money.” In 2020, they welcomed their second son, James. The two busy boys always keep them on their toes.

When she’s not at the office, or chasing the kiddos around, Christine can be found reading, often well past her bedtime, or traveling when the opportunity allows.

"I love people’s stories and how each one is different. They help determine who a person is and where they want to go."
