ABOUT

Chris is the youngest of three brothers born in Fremont Ohio to a bi-lingual family of North and South American ancestry. His multi-cultural home and family have instilled a boundless curiosity for the world around us and the diverse people that make it go.

In 1997 Chris graduated from Cranbrook Schools in Bloomfield Hills Michigan where he studied Architecture. While at Cranbrook Chris began an internship that became a full time position at Tod Williams, Billie Tsien Architects in New York City. A career in Design began shortly after with a brief hiatus as a fashion model in New York and Europe. In 2003 Chris began working on his own, designing and constructing small residential and commercial projects. This experience in entrepreneurship proved to be pivotal and informed Chris’s decision to move from Design into Real Estate Development.

Having spent over a decade living and working in NYC, Chris and his wife moved to her native Las Vegas, NV in 2009 to raise a family and be a part of the young city’s growth. Since then Chris, has developed single family, multi-family and commercial projects throughout Las Vegas and received the Mayor’s Urban Design Award for his achievements. Although primarily focused on business, Chris stays in touch with the Design world by helping teach and collaborate with Architecture schools such as University of Nevada Las Vegas, Columbia University, University of Michigan, University of Colorado Denver, Woodbury College, The Cooper Union and Taliesin School of Architecture. Chris proudly sits on the Board for the Black Mountain Institute, a literary hub and think-tank at UNLV and is also a founding board member of Aliana, a Houston based development company.

Chris and his wife, Katie, along with their two precocious daughters, love art, travel, the outdoors, summer/winter sports and are always down for an impromptu dance party.
