Chris' ability to take nebulous imagery and obscure ideas and define them—to graphically articulate what has been rumbling around in the mind of a client—is remarkable. His talent is only surpassed by his character.

As Sr. Creative Director, Chris is an essential part of our team. He’s responsible for overseeing all of our branding, creative, communications, and digital decisions. Whether developing creative strategies and directing creative work, to designing websites, print pieces, or email campaigns, Chris’ experience and talents are noticed all across the country. We’re privileged that after more than a decade here, even with offers of higher salaries and bigger cities, he continues to be a part of The Brand Leader team. His humble spirit, honorable approach and exceptional talent are what each of us on the team admire about him and strive to emulate. Ok, enough with the gushy accolades. All true – but let’s get to know Chris’ “other side”. You know he has one…all the quiet ones do. It’s a bit surprising that someone so quiet and mild mannered can literally transform into beast mode at the start line of a race. Not just any race. An Obstacle Course Race. A run-through-the-mud-til-it-comes-out-your-eyeballs-then-climb-a-wall-and-maybe-through-fire kind of race. But, that’s Chris. Taking on any challenge and believing that nothing is too hard to accomplish. His focus and determination are unwavering whether running through 13 miles of mud pits or staring down the toughest graphic design challenge he’s ever encountered. Chris will never settle, never quit, never complain, and never once brag about it.
