Hi, I’m Chris.

I’ve made my career in strategic sourcing and operations for over 15 years. I’m passionate about saving organizations time, effort, and money - and am eager to work with you!

When I’m not working with clients, I will usually be found in my yard working on my garden with my family, tending to our chickens, or working on some other home improvement project.
