"I watched as he transformed the Nixa Chamber into one of the best in the State. He was able to take
longtime events that were struggling and bring them back strong. He’s energetic, has a strong drive,
exceptional skills, is passionate and is a natural at bringing individuals, businesses and cities together for
the betterment of the community. Based on my experience with Chris, I am confident that he would
excel and be a valuable asset to any business or organization that would hire him. I wholeheartedly
recommend Chris and am confident that he would excel at anything he takes on."
