VP, Head of Experiential Sales

They say life is all about experiences, and after more than 13 years at VTI Studios, Chris would have to agree. Experiential marketing has been a natural fit because his own career has been defined by experience. As VP, Head of Experiential Sales, Chris helps clients bring their ideas to life, but after more than a decade with the team, "sales" barely scratches the surface. He's had the opportunity to contribute to nearly every type of project that has come through VTI Studios' doors, wearing more hats than he can count and learning something new with each one.

Outside of VTI Studios, the experiences continue. Chris is a National Powerlifting Champion and record holder who eventually traded barbells for running shoes and now spends his free time chasing marathon finish lines. He shares life with his amazing wife, and together they're raising two sports-crazed boys. If he's not at work, running, or behind the piano—a lifelong passion of his—there's a good chance he's coaching one of their teams or cheering from the sidelines.

Whether he's creating memorable brand experiences, taking on a new challenge, or balancing spreadsheets, squats, jam sessions, and scoreboards, Chris is always looking forward to the next experience.
