Nicole ~ Fiancé
Chris is an amazing Fiancé and dog father!

Amer Jaganjac ~ Mentee
Chris is a very intuitive and skilled mentor. I had enjoyed learning from him. Chris made efforts in pointing out fields for development in my professional performance, and advising me on how to become a better IT professional. Thank you Chris!

Guus Meuwissen ~ Colleague
'Ridiculously fast' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Chris. I had the please of working with Chris for around 2 years at Engagement Factory, while collaborating on several project teams. Chris's ability to juggle multiple projects while always committing to the highest quality is truly exceptional. Hence the reason I would say Chris is one of the most dedicated professionals I've worked with and he's always willing to go the extra mile to help you when needed. Thanks Chris!
