Chris

PROJECT MANAGER

Chris's introduction to the landscape construction trade started at a very early age, building masonry walls out of fieldstone at his childhood home with his father and grandfather.  He has generations of stone masons and bricklayers in his family and was lucky enough to learn the tricks of the trade from very well-experienced masons.  He started landscaping for a living in 1997 and opened his own landscaping business in 2007, and operated for 12 years.



Chris joined ETW in 2021 and loves the meticulous nature of what we do here.  While not at work, Chris loves to spend his time with his daughter Alexandra and girlfriend Marie. The three of them love the outdoors,  and enjoy all outdoor sports, as well as hiking, kayaking, and finding new adventures.
