Katie Jamison

At Newfangled, I worked closely with Chris on a daily basis for nearly two years, co-managing web projects and supporting an extensive client roster. What impressed me most about Chris was how even-keeled he remained, even in the most challenging of times. Without fail, he produced excellent work, managed his time effectively, and guided our clients with the wisdom of a project manager far beyond his years of experience. It was a pleasure working with Chris and any company that has him as part of its team will be better for it.

Chris is a professional manager who excels at motivating his peers and is goal and deadline oriented.
