How I help . . .

I help clients improve performance and plan strategically for the future. With industry experience in manufacturing and distribution as both a CFO and General Manager, I bring firsthand insight into the issues that affect our clients every day.

My hands-on expertise with ERP systems, job costing, and operational logistics allows me to understand their challenges from the inside out.

Using the above + beyond Operating System, I help clients gain clarity of vision, establish functional discipline, and build focus and accountability into their organizations. Meetings become more effective, problems are solved with data-driven decisions, and teams grow stronger and healthier.

Finally, I connect clients to the many valuable resources Adams Brown provides, ensuring they have the right tools and guidance to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.

Q&A with Chris

What does above+beyond mean to you?
Above+beyond means I need to listen to the client and hear what their needs are, leaving behind any pre-conceived notions that I may have brought in with me, so that I can think outside the box of traditional services to find what will bring the most benefit to the client.
What does being a strategic ally mean to you?
A strategic ally is a confidante that you trust to put your long term interest first.
What activity plays an important part in your life?
I live active - bicycling (road and off-road), exercise 6 days a week (weights and cardio), snow skiing, climbing 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado and projects around the house.
What type of sports are you good at?
Snow Skiing - I love to ski the back bowls.
What is your passion outside of work?
Cycling and Snow Skiing. Fishing is fun too!
