His path into construction began with his uncle, a chief estimator who taught him to see how builders create and projects come together. That mentorship introduced him to estimating, instilled a respect for technical rigor, and ignited a career built on strategic thinking and teamwork.
At DPR, Christopher focuses on aligning teams to deliver at scale for some of the most sophisticated data center customers in the world. He partners with account leaders to set expectations, drive pursuit strategies, align expertise with each project, and equip teams with the tools and resources to meet cost and schedule goals.
He also partners with operations and self-perform leadership to bring repeatable solutions to the field and strengthen execution across the advanced technology market. A key part of his journey has been the support and challenge from leaders and teammates, reinforcing his belief that DPR offers high potential for those who stay growth-minded and pursue meaningful work.
Outside of work, Christopher channels his all-in spirit into time with family and friends. A proud Buffalo native and devoted sports fan, he roots for the Bills and Sabres, cheers on the Washington Nationals, loves watching his son play baseball, and enjoys planning family trips near and far.
Fun Facts
- Favorite DPR Core Value: Ever Forward. It’s not often that a company is willing to say we can do this better, even when something is working well. The constant evolution and challenge to provide “Best in Class” services internally and externally drives me.
- First Job: At a grocery store. It is what helped pay for college, created some of the best friendships I still have today, and most importantly, it’s where I met my wife.
- Favorite Subject in School: Architecture. From the entry level classes I took in high school, to getting my 4-year pre-professional degree, I still have a passion and love for great design. But it also gave me skills and experience that has had an incredible impact on my career.
