About Chris W.

A close friend of mine asked me once what my goals in my professional career were. I knew that I wanted to get back to the responsibility I had in the Marines and the problem solving that came with the job on an everyday basis.I often reflect back and find that the most beneficial years of my life will forever be from 2007 to 2012 when I was active duty in the Marine Corps. The growth and lessons learned from training, deployments, and responsibilities as an officer have prepared me for any line of work in leadership in the business world. I want to lead, influence, and inspire. My goals are to make a difference in the lives of others.
