Chris is a high energy indivdual that is extremely intelligent. He started as a manager in the control center but was quickly promoted to the GM position of the Maintenace business unit. This BU had a long history of issues but Chris worked diligently to overcome them and make reccomendations on how to improve the overall cost effectiviness. Chris showed time after time his leadership and diversity by taking on the task of first getting the MCC running and then taking on the Mainenace job. I would reccommend Chris for jobs in Operations or Maintenace and would relish the opportunity to work with him in the future.
