About Chris Whitman

21 years of experience in the music industry. Skills acquired from sales to inventory manager, handling and processing large amounts of data, expertise with inventory procurement, order management, and selection evaluation. Current role focuses on clearing out devalued inventory for faster turns. Passion project business making props for theater, cosplay, accessories for gaming, and game room decor. Game tables, side tables, wood work, resin crafting, miniatures and dice. I have numerous stage credits as prop maker.\"Wizard Core\" designs, wall art, collectables, maps, and posters. Also an outspoken proponent of introvert voices in the modern workplace, ironically. Very much a critic of open concept office spaces, as they are counterproductive and unhealthy work environments.
