Chris is a born and raised Alaskan. He grew up in the Mat-Su Valley enjoying fishing, hunting and power sports. He spent a majority of his teen year working at his family-owned import automotive shop, McDonnell & Son’s Auto. Chris attended and graduated from Houston High School in 1994, completed a semester at Mat-Su Community College an opted to join the workforce and begin his career.

Chris began by helping a high school friend start a commercial window glazing/caulking company, Alaska Sealant. They completed several large contracts such as Anchorage Jail, Fairbanks Court house, Teeland Middle School and Alaska Regional Hospital. After those projects, he found himself needing more of a challenge. That’s when he joined the ChemTrack “A-Team” in 1998. His first project with ChemTrack was building the O’Malley Ice Arena, in Anchorage. Once the arena was in operation Chris stayed on and provided building & ice maintenance for the next couple years. 

In his spare time, Chris rides with the Green Knight’s Military Motorcycle Club, which is a mentorship club for enlisted military.  He also enjoys riding his motorcycle with a sidecar for his trusty dog “North”.
