      <image:title>About - Hi, I’m Chris Ramsby</image:title>
      <image:caption>Founder of and your personal planner at Cascara Financial Planning. I was born and raised in the Portland, Oregon area and I’m fortunate to still call it home today. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife, our kids, and our dogs, usually outdoors enjoying all the beauty the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I value time with friends, being outside, and creating a life that feels balanced and intentional. That perspective carries into my work as well: steady progress, thoughtful choices, and a plan that supports the life we actually want to live.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - How I Help Clients</image:title>
      <image:caption>As life evolves, financial decisions naturally become more complex. The people I work with are thoughtful and intentional; they come looking for clarity and perspective to ensure their decisions are aligned and moving in the right direction. My work is holistic and plan-driven, focusing on the full picture of your financial life. Together, we bring clarity to areas like: Buying or planning for a home Raising kids and balancing family priorities Managing and reducing debt Building confidence around investing Understanding whether you’re truly on the right path We’ll organize your finances, define clear priorities, and build a plan that connects today’s decisions to your long-term goals. The result isn’t just a list of recommendations, it’s a roadmap you understand and trust.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - What It’s Like to Work With Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>There’s a quiet confidence that comes from seeing the full picture. In my work, I often see people feel more grounded once their financial life feels clear, connected, and aligned with what matters most to them. You can expect a process that is: Structured and thoughtful, with clear next steps Collaborative, built around your real life Transparent, so you understand the “why” behind every decision Grounded and judgment-free, no matter where you’re starting My goal is for you to walk away feeling confident, not just in the plan, but in your ability to make good financial decisions moving forward.</image:caption>
