Director of Marketing
Don’t let the stitches or the black eye fool you – although our former professional hockey player still gets the occasional stick in the face, he’s all business in the office.
Having been employed with
Omnipress since 1995 (after getting his B.B.A. degree from the
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire), Chris has had more job titles
than anyone else in the company (and we're not kidding): IT Manager,
Digital Media Leader, Assistant Sales Manager, Product Development
Manager and now Director of Marketing. He's a bit of a maverick and sometimes he thinks he's a
rockstar which contributes to Omnipress as being a fun
and exciting place to work.
His latest gig is Engage365 - a knowledge
community dedicated to using social media for events. He's the pioneer
and leader of this community. So if you want to see how to run a
community, hang out at
Engage365.
Outside
of work, Chris spent 10 years coaching the UW Women’s Club Hockey team
where he won two national tournaments and was awarded the "coach of the
year" award. His hockey passion still continues (in men's league), but you can usually find him grooming his backyard ice rink where he and his two daughters spend their winter. In the summer, he and his wife spend time their recreational time playing adult kickball. (yes, that game you once played with the red rubber ball).
Chris also dedicates time to the Arthritis Foundation helping to support the Arthritis Walk event (his
youngest daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
at just 15 months). He and his wife's efforts caught the attention of the Arthritis Foundation in 2008 when they were awarded the "Heart of the Mission." They now serve on the Advisory Board for the Upper MidWest Chapter.
