Bio
Lana P.
Chris has boundless energy and a positive attitude and his potential is simply limitless. One of his greatest strengths is that he is a solutions-oriented IT professional with a serious gift for writing. Yes, he is a skilled business and website writer, but he also has an English degree and is a published author! Chris steps up to the plate to take on more. When he sees areas for improvement and optimization he does the research and makes the case. He's taken on large and small-scale projects at Westminster, including a website rebuild, and knocked every one of them out of the park. Any organization lucky enough to land Chris will find themselves stronger and better for it!
Andrew Henning
Chris is a fast learner who is always willing to take on additional tasks and responsibilities. He is eager to learn new skills and processes, and not only wants to understand the immediate task or need, but also the underlying concepts so that he can apply them to future scenarios. Chris is always thoughtful of others and shows a genuine desire to help and make sure that any issues are resolved. In the rare instance that a request has to be declined or re-assigned, Chris is able to communicate the situation and status clearly and in a way that the user understands. Chris also displays a high level of ethics and loyalty to both his co-workers and employer, while still maintaining a balanced level of ambition to expand his professional capabilities and responsibilities.
