Chris is a risk taker, communicator, and entrepreneur.  Many entrepreneurs strive to leave a personal legacy behind in business and in the community and Chris continues to do just that. 

Starting Yardstick in 2006 with his business partner, he and the team grew the business and subsequently appeared on the Alberta Venture Magazine’s Fast 50 list of fastest growing companies for nine years and for six years it has been featured on Profit Magazine’s Fastest Growing Companies in Canada. 

Before starting Yardstick, Chris spent 16 years in the Solid Waste and Recycling industry, most recently as a Senior Vice President for Western Canada. He is passionate about war history and gives his time to the Juno Beach Centre Association Advisory and the Canadian Forces Liaison Council as a board member. 

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and walking with his best friend, Recce, our Culture Operations boss. He also has amassed an extensive stash of Canadian Tire money (over $8,000) with the help of his two daughters!
