At the age of 16, Chris entered into the electrical trade as an Apprentice Electrician. After only 8 months he was promoted to Lead Tech, from there he furthered his career by starting his own company in new construction and residential service. Learning the ups and downs, he took advantage of an opportunity with a local residential electrical company in Atlanta, Georgia in 2005. Chris very rapidly honed in on skills such as communication, management, and selling. Within just 1 year’s time, Chris was promoted to a leadership role as a Supervisor, responsible for 18 trucks and producing in excess of $4 million in revenue. Over the next 3 years, Chris reached a career milestone among his peers when he received the “Million Dollar Award” for producing over $1.4 million in revenue.
In the summer of 2008, Chris found a passion to help others and was recruited to Sarasota, Florida as a Business Coach for a large electrical franchise company where he helped franchisees follow the same path of success he followed in Atlanta. From 2010 to 2012, Chris was coaching businesses in all 3 trades under the franchisor; plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, from various sizes, starting with owners in a truck, up to multiple locations, multiple trade businesses.
In 2013, Chris returned to his roots in the electrical trade as an owner and operator, executing and implementing the same strategies he used to help other businesses become operationally efficient, driving sales and profits. Chris and his partner grew their business from 10 trucks with 1 location to over 60 trucks with 5 locations, producing $18 million in revenue within 4 years. In early 2018, Chris sold his shares of the business and decided to return to his passion for helping others.
Over the course of Chris’s career, several people mentioned that he should meet Kenny Chapman because of their similar passion and styles. As fate would have it, a mutual friend introduced Chris and Kenny, and they had immediate synergy. In June 2018 Chris officially joined the Blue Collar Success Group as a Success Coach and is now the President.
