Bio
Mark von Werder
I had the opportunity to work with Chris on several projects over the past few years at JPRA. Chris is highly organized and detail oriented. He is seasoned and experienced as technical architect and can put together a really good set of fully coordinated construction documents and follow the process through construction and project close out. Added bonus – Chris is also a skilled renderer, knowledgeable in several design and 3D software platforms. Chris has always been a positive addition to any project team and is highly recommended.

I have known Chris Free for over 10 years. He was one of my best students at Lawrence Tech University and had demonstrated an outstanding work ethic and attention to detail. He was not content to be good but always strived to improve and be the best that he can be. Since then he has continued to apply those same values to completing his education at the University of Illinois and his career as an architect. He has been tenacious in completing his IDP requirements and achieving his professional license. Chris will be an asset to any firm and I recommend him without exception.
