Entrepreneurial in college Chris financed a Contractor and earned a Journeyman electrician license in Columbia, Missouri. This understanding of business and construction trades has benefited Chris over the years.
On completion of his Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics Chris was selected for a position with Ralston Purina in Oklahoma. With little resistance to a "Missouri Kid" working a territory near O.S.U. , Chris advanced to a district in McAlester then to a cutting edge district of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Again, Chris showed creativity and determination in plucking some of the previously untended fruit into growth.
Chris longed to return to the Kansas City area where the fall seasons are so spectacular. With the aid of a "Head Hunter", a national sales manager position was secured with a private label pharmaceutical company.
Chris uses his past experience as a sales manager, electrician and his ability to expand his talents today for one of the country's largest property owners.

This is a political verse based on a M.L. King's speech.
I too have had a dream.
I have dreamt of...
A day of charity in the hearts of Americans. A day of self-sufficiency for everyone. A day of prosperity for all who deserve it.
When all citizens are invested. When all citizens are responsible. When all citizens are involved.
A day that truth out talks power. A day that faith overwhelms fear. A day that common sense offsets Political correctness.
Dependents no more. In blind allegiance no more. Without results no more.
A day of self worth to the downtrodden. A day of peace for the warrior. A day of family for the nation.
To be a representative means to serve, not be served. To be a leader means to lead, not to follow. To be the voice of change means to shout until heard.
A day of change to self-sufficiency. A day of change to a new prosperity. A day of change to instinctive benevolence and charity.
Guided by faith. Directed by common sense. Sustained by you.
