I have worked with Chris on and off for over ten years and can honestly say it will be a loss to the industry. He ensured schools, public projects, and healthcare clients alike could maximize their funds and enable a legacy of building for years to come all the while ensuring the process was above all fun.

As we all know Chris was a shy and retiring type who would often sit in the corner quietly. I think because of the opposite of this people gravitated to him knowing that he truly cared about what he was doing and could engender trust and respect so easily. His art of persuasion was legendary and more often than not when in a deadlock meeting regarding funding or some other situation would enable both parties to come to the table and walk out with a smile and a way forward that would invariably lead to the next job. 

Chris will be greatly missed by me and the rest of the office and will forever be remembered by those who worked with him.
