The power of a can-do attitude.
Growing up in rural Ohio, Chris learned the value of hard work by spending his summers on the farm, bailing hay, sorting potatoes, weighing pumpkins, and building corn mazes. This serves him well when connecting with and understanding the needs of those in the construction industry.
In his work, Chris embraces the opportunity to work with, and learn from, a lot of smart business owners, and to train and mentor younger associates. He also takes advantage of the carpool lane; his wife, Beth, is a fellow GBQer.
Chris is a two-time Jack Boyle Leadership award winner, Ron Quillin Educator award winner, and three-time winner of both the Client Service and Outstanding Attitude awards.
