Bio
Adam McLaughlin
Cris is a compassionate leader, who is focused, forward-thinking and a person that brings his heart and his exceptional intellect to the task at hand. I highly recommend him to any organization where there is a strong need for successfully managing competing priorities, keeping a goal in sight and achieving results.
Cary Degenstein
Cris took a chance on a skinny kid from a small town over 20 years ago by hiring him to work in his wireless store. That began our relationship which has transcended titles like Boss, Peer, Mentor, and Friend. Cris has a unique ability to connect with those around him and instantly earn their trust and respect. He is one of a rare group of individuals you cross paths with in your career and without question is the type of Leader you want in your organization.
