Community Involvement

Since I was young, I have served in some capacity for many charities for Christian County and beyond.

I receive great enjoyment by helping others.

"Working with him, I discovered that he is a man of vision and someone who has boundless energy. Any event he coordinates is carefully thought out to make it as successful as it can be. He is good at assigning jobs to individuals according to their strengths and tirelessly works to keep everything running smoothly. I have worked many events under his leadership and can truly say they all could not have gone better."

"His work with local businesses and non-profits reflects his adeptness at building relationships and his unwavering dedication to community service. Chris's efforts have not only contributed to the prosperity of Nixa but have also laid a strong foundation for future growth. His public speaking skills, fiscal responsibility, and strategic mindset align perfectly with the key competencies required for the President/CEO position."

"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."
