Chris grew up in central Ohio and began his career learning construction from his uncle. After high school, he worked in door-to-door sales across the U.S., which sparked his passion for customer interaction. Chris then spent four years managing a Verizon Wireless retailer during the smartphone boom before joining HH Gregg, where he quickly became General Manager, overseeing seven stores in central Ohio. After HH Gregg’s closure, he transitioned to Lowe’s, rising through the ranks and moving from Ohio to Florida for the company. In 2018, Chris moved back to Ohio and joined CertaPro Painters of Westlake. He has done every position in the company from sales to production, and he now serves as General Manager, focusing on exceptional customer experiences in both the residential and commercial sectors.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys a wide range of hobbies, from beekeeping to cooking, and cares for three dogs, a Macaw parrot and two reptiles. He hopes to visit Australia, Japan, and Alaska someday.
