I have experienced first-hand Chris's effectiveness as a speaker and communicator. He is very polished, but that polish is backed up by substance, and the two combine for an audience that is more informed and enlightened than before he spoke. Chris's interpersonal communication skills are also among his greatest strengths.

He's a champ…literally. I've learned a ton about the art of delivering an awesome elevator pitch from this guy. Not only can he speak and train on the elevator pitch but he walks-the-walk. He's the Elevator Pitch champ!
