Kevin Serafin
I have worked with Chris when he was at the City of Aurora, as I was representing various development clients, as well as representing his compnay to the City of Aurora and Village of Oswego, as one of our clients. Chris is well organized, and has a strong grasp of the entitlement process. In working with him as a client, he was very hands-on and eager to learn. I would recommned Chris to any residential or commercial developer to manage their entitlements, as well as any growing municipalities who are interested in adding an experienced planner to the staff. I have no doubt that Chris could easily grow into a role as Community Development Director or Economic Development Coordinator.
