Chris is a 3rd generation Montanan raised in the Montana 4-H / farming culture. He grew up in Conrad and the Sun River Valley. He met Cindy at the Sun River Valley 8th grade dance where students from the 3 valley K-8 schools socialized before heading to Simms High School together. After years of persistence, Chris finally convinced Cindy to date him by the time they were high school juniors and they were married 3 years later. After high school, Chris attended UC San Diego where he earned his B.S. in Computer Science.
In 2000, Chris, Cindy and their 2 boys (at the time), Devin and Scott, moved to Butte where he would start a tech company. Since then, Chris has helped found 2 companies, Education Enterprise Solutions (aka SchoolWorks) and Muddy Creek Brewing Company. Chris has spent much of his time in Butte focused on Christian ministries of evangelism, teaching, and worship team/music. More than anything, Chris has enjoyed raising his boys to be people that make the world an exceptionally better place.
Chris' career has spanned many interests from software engineering to corporate management to brewing. His primary proficiency has always been the management and development of software solutions, architectures, tech teams, and companies. His engineering expertise and entrepreneurship has been applied across many fields including digital privacy, finance, insurance, healthcare, defense, education, scientific discovery, pharmaceutical, retail, automotive, publication, VR/3D simulations and multimedia. He has received several industry-recognized awards for hid work in DoD (NavAir), transportation modernization (Infoweek #1 Productivity - FedEx Freight), and technology innovation (HP Outstanding Innovator).
