Chris’s entrepreneurial spirit can be traced back to his early years working in his family’s businesses, including dry cleaning, laundry, retail clothing, haircare franchises, and real estate investments. One of the defining moments in Chris’s life was when he led his high school football team to win the 1986 IHSAA Class A State Football Championship, which revealed his leadership abilities. He obtained a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, consistently recognized as the top undergraduate engineering school for over 20 years.

In the first half of his career, he excelled in senior leadership positions within a mid-size corporation, achieving significant results in financial turnarounds, construction projects, and cost savings. Chris attributes his success to his ability to inspire teams with a shared vision.
In 2008, Chris left his corporate role and established his own coaching and consulting business. In 2012, he partnered with Truth At Work to facilitate peer-to-peer advisory boards for business leaders and executives. Over the next decade, Chris discovered a sense of purpose and a desire to transition from personal success to making a meaningful impact. In 2016, he embraced an opportunity within Truth At Work to lead a purpose-driven organization focused on controlled environment agriculture, where he currently serves as the president of the US division.
