I had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly two years, and during that time he impressed me with his skills, abilities, relationship management and dedication. Mostly, though, I was impressed with his desire to preform at the highest level at all times. Every interaction I had with Chris was positive and professional on all levels.

Chris and I have worked on a few projects together, and he impressed me with his dedication and eagerness to "get the job done". Chris is a collaborator by nature, and is regarded highly by the Field Personnel. In his latest assignment, Chris organized enterprise wide Vendor Returns and/or Inventory Exchanges. The branches benefited from his efforts and appreciated his support. He is a great addition to any organization.
