Chris advances the productivity of the civic sector by not only monitoring schedules and budgets, but also by ensuring his colleagues have the tools and guidance they need to succeed. While travel inspired him with the possibilities of what architecture can achieve, he ascribes his diligent work ethic to his upbringing in a small, blue-collar town. Chris enjoys the variety of projects encompassed in the civic portfolio and feels a personal connection with public safety facilities; as the descendent of generations of volunteer first responders, he appreciates every opportunity to serve those whose professions he holds in high regard.
