I met Chris when he first came to CPGworks back in May 2008. He came in with a smile and very well prepared. At first glance, you would think he is in sales…. and you know what…. that was his career before he decided to switch trades. With having have some experience with drywall hanging and finishing, trim, tape, paint, wallpaper and doing ceilings. He had also done landscaping for a few companies on the books. But he wanted to do more construction, and because he had decided that since he was relocating to WNY- why not give it a shot. His relocation was due to wanting to be a full time dad to his young son.
Within the short time frame of getting to know Chris, I knew he was a rare find. Proud, reliable, dependable, and willing to show that he is more than just your “Sales Guy”. He loved working with his hands and seeing the end product. Because I believed that he would make a great employee for anyone of our clients, I set him up right away with Mark at Affordable Drainage. Within two (2) weeks Mark had this to say about Chris.
“Chris has become his right hand leader- hard working, dependable, reliable, eager. He really knows what he is doing” He started there in early June and stayed till the end of October when the season ended for Mark. Not letting the grass grow under his feet, I placed Chris with Frank at Enviro-Care. They clicked instantly. Frank said that he really liked Chris’ work ethics & great personality, along with being a great team player, and asked if he could he would buy him out early and put on his books, and that he was a good catch, worth having on his team. ”
Well, Chris completed his hours and he his now going on the books as PERMANENT with Enviro-Care. Not only is Enviro-Care happy, but so is Chris. He feels like he found his new “home”.
You cant always judge a book by its cover…. Salesman turned into a Remodeling career…. WAY TO GO CHRIS!
