A message from the CEO
“Since I started in this industry back in 1969, I’ve witnessed some amazing changes. Technology has advanced in ways we never could have imagined. It allows us to provide a new level of accuracy and efficiency for our clients. While we embrace using the latest technology, we also realize that people, not computers, provide personal service.
We believe there is still tremendous value in a handshake, and we still find that listening is one of the most valuable skills we have. I look forward to hearing how we can help you and your family protect the things that matter most to you. Thank you for considering C. H. Vallos and Associates.”
Sincerely,
Chris H. Vallos
