In 1989, after spending three years with the buyer of the company, he formed The Weil Company (which has used Christopher Weil & Company, Inc. as a dba since 1996) to provide portfolio management, investment advisory and private equity services. He was previously President & CEO of Christopher Weil & Company, Inc. and has been Chairman of the Board since 2004.
