Hobbies & Interests
Outside of Work I enjoy Traveling, Woodworking and Metalworking in my shop at home. Watching movies with my family, Sci-Fi is by far my favorite genre, but I'm also a huge fan of "Really Bad" Horror movies (the cheesier, the better!) I also really enjoy playing games, card games, board games, and especially video games. I spent my childhood in Arcades spending every quarter I had on games and pinball machines.
Professional Philosophy
Chris believes successful safety systems come from balancing technical precision with real-world usability. He works closely with engineering teams, electricians, maintenance personnel, and operators to ensure solutions are functional, maintainable, and trusted on the plant floor.
