  BIOGRAPHY

Professional Experience:

Soon after graduating from college in 1992, Christina Bush began her career in the financial industry with Wells Fargo Investments and quickly progressed to a position as a Vice President/Senior Financial Consultant.  At Wells Fargo she built a very successful career and a $60 million book of business.  After great reflection, she decided in 2010 to join Torrey Pines Securities where she can act as a true fiduciary for each of her clients and do exactly what is in each of their best interests.   She can assist with not only investment portfolios, but also life and health insurance, long term care, retirement planning, estate planning, business succession planning, gold and precious metals.  Her primary goal is to meet or exceed the expectations of her clients who rely on her for innovative financial services and responsive attention to their needs.  She is able to accomplish this through a comprehensive financial management approach within one integrated program of customized services and a vast array of products.   Guiding each portfolio is her conviction that investment decisions are made with the client’s needs and objectives foremost in mind.  She uses a rational approach to portfolio construction that is centered on strategically determining the optimal combination of asset classes designed to produce growth, and income, while minimizing capital risk. Christina has a passion for photography and wildlife and also owns Animal Magnetism Photography.  She uses her images to help a number of wildlife organizations and to raise awareness for the conservation of animals all over the world.  Her photography has been featured on Animal Planet, National Geographic, ABC's Extreme Home Makeovers and various newspapers, ads and websites across the globe.
