Chris is a take charge individual and he is one of the best manufacturing managers that I have ever worked with my career. His extended background in six-sigma and lean techniques were instrumental in successfully implementing several programs in both Onvio and Moveras manufacturing operations, improving product throughput, leading to material and labor savings.

My lean journey/experience started with Chris's guidance and support, and I appreciate that he keeps things simple when he starts building a lean culture. I definitely recommend Chris to any business that wants to make continuous improvement as one of their core values.

Mary Gardener
CEO, Gardner Communications / Inspirational Speakers Academy
In 2014 we met on the set of Good Morning America. He is as genuine, honest and caring as they come. He lives by integrity and is a man of his word. He's straight forward and will keep it real with you and not sugar coat anything. Many times that's what young entrepreneurs need. The cold honest truth. He absolutely LOVES making products in America helping entrepreneurs match offshore pricing and knows everything about new product development on the front and back end, and that’s rare. He’s the Made in America guy for a reason. He's an amazing leader, mentor, coach and family man. He treats everyone around him fair and equal. I'm very lucky to have him by my side as a mentor but most importantly as one of my closet friends.
