Professional Background: Chris’ lifelong passion for architecture and building comes from a childhood spent growing up among sawdust and blueprints as the son of a cabinet maker. After graduating high school, he spent 8 years serving his country in the United States Marine Corps, where he learned the value of discipline, precision, reliability and pride in a job well done that he brings to everything he does. After an honorable discharge from the Marines, he began working alongside his father in the cabinetry business.

Position: Shortly after college graduation, he joined Aufgang Architects and has worked diligently over the years. Chris is responsible for the creation of working documents, coordinating consultant documents, notarizing our important paperwork, and additionally does graphic design for our various ads and brochures. He takes great pride and satisfaction in seeing the projects he’s developed begin as drawings done on CAD software, end up coming to life as fully constructed buildings.

Personal Life: Outside of work, Chris is an avid Formula 1 fan and is also actively involved with the Marine Corps League, a group of retired Marines who volunteer in the community to help better the lives of many children & veterans. He’s also been known to enjoy the pleasure of dark humor, good cognac, and a decent cigar.
