Chris started his business because he felt that customer service was lacking in his community. He wanted to show other business owners that you can have great customer service and a profit.

Being a former geologist, he brought a scientific approach to entrepreneurship and built his company, Alpine Maids to 2million in revenue and is now focusing on where to go next. He is passionate about breaking down mental barriers in all aspects of life: from business to family and beyond. Also, mountain biking, cars and snowboarding.
