Professional Bio

Chris’ role as a business broker is born out of a lifetime of experience living and working in family-owned businesses. He grew up in the heat seal lidding business (like the lid you peel off a half and half creamer), with his family's business making billions of those lids for all kinds of products. Chris decided to pursue more corporate opportunities and spent seven years working in the restaurant industry as a sous chef for J. Alexanders and as a general manager for Chipotle prior to his return to the family business in manufacturing in 2010 and away from corporate America. From 2010 to 2021 his focus was on leading the resurgence of advanced manufacturing as the President of Qualtek Manufacturing in Colorado Springs. Bringing industrial manufacturing to the next generation of designers, makers, & buyers. In parallel with business management, Chris has invested in commercial real estate and managed properties associated with their businesses. Chris has experienced the risks and rewards of real property and how it relates to running a successful business.
With over 2 decades of hands-on experience in small and medium sized businesses, Chris helps people make sense of the market when the time comes to buy or sell. When he distills the various roles and responsibilities he’s had in his career, the one constant thread linking them all together is his ability to build relationships with people. Chris’ goal is to help people make confident decisions in a complicated environment.
