While attending OU, his work on transformational leadership models was formally recognized by University faculty for excellence in the field of Social & Behavioral Research. This research, which was developed in concert with Dr. Bob Schooley and Luke Freeman, established the foundation for P&PG’s approach and methodologies. Chris’ other academic and professional certifications include the completion of the Executive Development Program at University of Nevada – Reno, licensure as a PMI certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and certified John Maxwell TEAM speaker and coach.

Chris’ professional career includes extensive experience as an executive with core competencies of leadership, project management, product development, marketing and operational execution.

Chris makes his home in Bixby, Oklahoma with his wonderful wife, Megan, and their two young children. His favorite ways to spend time away from the office is coaching competitive baseball for the youth program at Oral Roberts University, doing art and coloring projects with his daughter and enjoying every moment the family is together.
