What He’s Passionate About
Chris enjoys improving and simplifying processes, enabling people to be successful within and across studios, and creatively executing solutions to differentiate TiER1 from competitors.
His Professional Experience
In 1999, Chris co-founded rapidLD, a professional services consulting firm specializing in the selection, development, and deployment of Human Capital and Talent Management Systems. Over the next 20 years, Chris grew the organization and worked in a variety of roles, including consulting operations, practice and project management, business development, and consulting. He also has extensive experience in managing consulting and professional services teams, building and maintaining long-term strategic partnerships, and selling and delivering services in all stages of the software life cycle. In 2020, rapidLD was acquired by TiER1 Performance, and Chris transitioned to serve as Principal.
How He Makes a Difference
Before COVID-19, every Friday night for more than three years, Chris and his family would pick up leftover bread and pastries from a local bakery and sort them in their church’s kitchen. They would then distribute sliced bread to a team that makes lunches each Monday for the homeless in Atlanta; freeze loafs of bread to be delivered with food boxes to struggling families; and send pastries to Elementary and Middle School teacher lounges.
Things He Can’t Live Without
Microsoft Excel and a big breakfast. “I can accomplish anything as long as those two things are part of my daily life,” he says.
Fun Fact
Chris and his wife Jeanna of more than 24 years got engaged on Friday the 13th. They also closed on their first home and found out they were expecting their first child on Friday the 13th. Chris thinks it would be cool to retire on Friday the 13th, but he does NOT like the movie Friday The 13th.
Hidden Talent
Chris has a background in architecture and still designs basement buildouts, home additions, and commercial renovation projects for friends and family.
