Tom Williams; President, Elan-Polo International
- “Chris worked for me several years in product development and sales capacities and I always knew I could count on him to get the job done. He was able to see the opportunities from all the stakeholders perspectives and create win/wins. Chris has a way of connecting with customers that makes them want to buy and he accepts his responsibility to help make them successful. He is very knowledgeable of the outdoor industry and lives the lifestyle…he brings hands-on experience to the table. You will always get a straight answer and I would not hesitate to work with Chris again.”
Russ Montgomery; Buyer, Cabela’s
- “I worked with Chris when I was a buyer at Cabela’s for several years. He was a pleasure to work with for many reasons. Chris was always very professional. He knew our business which saved me time during the buying process. He was able to bring us very focused products that were priced competitively while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship we demanded. Chris sees the big picture and knows that his job isn’t done once he makes a sale. Rather, his job is to make sure he puts his customers in the best possible position to succeed and meet their goals. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking to grow their business the right way with the right partners.”
Mike Sullivan; Founder & Manager, Sullivan-Bishop Agency
- “Chris was my sales manager. I have been in business as a rep for over 30 years and Chris brought more energy and creativity to his role than any sales manager with whom I have worked. He understood his job and he executed it perfectly. Chris was able to very clearly hear what a customer was saying, and process what the customer had actually said, so that he could fashion a winning strategy that made everybody a winner. That hearing and processing faculty is a rare gift, but it is a gift that sets genuine leaders ahead of the pack. Chris never shied away from a tough issue. Rather, he took them on and resolved them fairly, expeditiously and thoroughly. He is a workhorse, but he is also as engaging and fun a person as you could hope for.”
Maggi Campbell; Buyer, Dick’s Sporting Goods / Field & Stream Stores
- “I had the pleasure of working with Chris while I was buying Apparel & Accessories for the Field & Stream Outdoor Store at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Field & Stream was in its infancy when our relationship began. You can only imagine how many vendors were pitching products/brands for store presence. Chris was a breath of fresh air to work with. He understood my role and knew how to best spend our time & craft his approach. He was always clear and concise, and, most importantly, understanding and fair. I would welcome any opportunity to work with Chris in the future!”
Steve Scherrer; Founder/Owner, Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe
- “Chris worked for us at Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe for several years. He was a valuable asset to the business in both sales and instructor/guide roles. Chris was multi-talented and did a variety of jobs well. Whether working on the retail sales floor, teaching folks how to paddle or as a seasoned guide on a multi-day sea kayak journey, Chris was a capable and valued employee. He was great with customers, always friendly with a big smile on his face. Chris has an attention to detail and a great work ethic. We were sad to see him leave!”
Jamie Bethke; President-Product, Elan-Polo International
- “Chris worked for me in product development until being promoted into a sales role. Chris made a positive impact on both the product and the team immediately. He has a can-do attitude and quickly became a go to employee. He is very genuine and has an authentic communication style that makes him approachable to all. Chris is trustworthy and dedicated and would be an asset to any organization. He was a pleasure to work with and I would do so again given the opportunity.”
