Born and raised in Florida, Chris has never lived anywhere else but here’s some surprises. He’s not a fan of seafood and prefers chilly, overcast days to Florida sunshine. A true sports fanatic, he’s all in for baseball and football, especially the Rays and the Bucs. He’s even witnessed a few iconic sports moments firsthand, including Wade Boggs’s 3,000th hit and the Bucs’ first-ever kickoff return for a touchdown. A proud Swiftie … Folklore is his favorite (IYKYK) … and counts the Eras Tour stop in Tampa as a great experience.
Originally set on becoming a sports broadcaster or meteorologist, he still lights up at any talk of the weather or last night’s game. And speaking of lightning strikes, he met his wife, Kristen, on his first day at a new job in Orlando. Three months later, they started dating, and they’ve been together ever since. Last summer, they welcomed their beautiful daughter, Kailyn, and life hasn’t slowed down since.
Outside of work, he’s all about family time, whether that’s hanging out with Kristen, Kailyn, and their four pets … cats Chloe, Luke, and Ahsoka, and their dog, Chewie. Or he could be watching the game from the couch. He’s on a mission to visit all 30 MLB stadiums, with 8 already checked off the list. And when it’s time to unwind, he and Kristen turn to Legos as their go-to stress reliever because sometimes building something fun together is just what the day calls for.
At work, he loves collaborating with his PM team and tackling challenges with support from leadership every step of the way. He’s proud of standout moments like the Horizon flowers, the Datalogic boxes at ProMat ‘23, Innovation Summit ‘22, and every chance he’s had to travel or connect in person with the team he truly considers the best.
Right back atcha, Chris! You might not like seafood, but we like you.
