Chris began his banking career close to 30 years ago as a part-time teller while attending school in the Chicagoland area. He continued to pursue his career in banking and early on managed multiple bank branches until he transferred into the Wealth Management division of US Bank providing banking and loan solutions for high net worth individuals. In 2007, Chris then started a new position at Columbia Bank and most recently held the position of SVP/Team Lead of the Seattle Healthcare Banking division of the bank. Chris joined The Commerce Bank of Washington in 2020 and uses his past experiences to develop deep and meaningful relationships with clients to provide a banking experience that far exceeds their expectations.

Chris resides in West Seattle with his wife, daughter and dog having moved to Seattle from Chicago in 2002. He is actively involved in a number of volunteer opportunities and enjoys spending time with his family, working out, playing golf and volleyball, and participating in many West Seattle community events.
