Chris Burke
Financial Planner | Retirement Planning Specialist
Chris Burke is a Financial Advisor at Hodges Burke Financial, where he helps physicians, business owners, and individuals nearing retirement build financial strategies that reflect their goals, values, and vision for the future. Clients appreciate his thoughtful approach and the practical insight he brings to every conversation.
Before entering the financial services industry, Chris spent 11 years managing physician practices at Prisma Health, where he oversaw daily operations, led teams, and worked closely with medical professionals on staffing, budgeting, and strategic planning. His experience navigating the business side of healthcare gives him a strong foundation for helping clients, especially medical practitioners, make informed financial decisions.
Chris’ desire to help people, combined with a personal interest in wealth management, led him to join his wife and father-in-law in the business and build Hodges Burke Financial. “Every client I meet teaches me something new,” Chris says. “It’s a privilege to walk alongside them as they plan for what’s next.”
With degrees in Business Management from Clemson University and Healthcare Administration from the University of South Carolina, Chris blends financial knowledge with a strong foundation in leadership and service. He is currently serving on the Diaconate at First Presbyterian Church of Columbia.
Chris grew up in Edgefield, SC, and now lives in Columbia with his wife Mary and their three daughters: Charlotte, Anne, and Francie. He enjoys golfing, fishing, running, and cheering on the Clemson Tigers. For Chris, the most rewarding part of his work is when a client refers a friend or family member. It’s a sign of trust and the kind of relationship he strives to build every day.
