In 2020, Chris was promoted Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the position he held until his resignation in 2021 when he moved out of state to be closer to family.
In 2015, Chris was selected as one of Ingram’s “40 Under Forty” honorees in recognition of his outstanding leadership, career and community accomplishments. Chris completed his bachelor’s degree in business management and marketing from Baker University.
