How it all started.
OUR TEAM
Kent R. Addis, Jr. “Chip”
Chip started Addis Hill in 2000 and currently serves as the President and Lead Advisor. He holds a BS degree from Penn State and worked with Provident Mutual starting in 1989. While he learned to solve for clients’ needs, he also discovered an unsettling conflict of interest. On joining NAPFA in 2001, Chip was surrounded by fee-only advisors for the first time, leading to the first stages of developing Addis Hill.
When he’s not in the office
Chip has been happily married to wife Sue for 29 years. They share three children: Drew (22), Kyle (21), and Jenny (17). They have a home on the Chesapeake Bay where they enjoy spending time on the water. Chip is passionate about traveling, home renovation and landscaping, art collecting, and maintaining his ’67 Triumph Herald. He is grateful for the hardships in his life that lent perspective and helped shape him into a better person.
