CHRISTOPHER DYREK
Senior Vice President;
Wealth Management Advisor
Merrill Lynch
Chris Dyrek is a senior vice president, wealth management advisor, and founder of the Dyrek Goehring Group for Merrill Lynch in Pasadena. An award-winning advisor, he leads a high-performing team of six seasoned advisors who are licensed in 25 states and oversee $566 million in assets under management for his clients.
Dyrek started with Merrill Lynch in 1984, immediately after graduating from UCLA. Many of his first clients are still with him today, and he now serves two, three, and four generations of families. His work is inspired by his father who was raised during the Great Depression and his experience growing up with a fear of losing money. This experience became the cornerstone of his team’s investment philosophy –– “don’t lose money, preserve capital.”
