In 2012, Chris was selected by the Business Council of Westchester’s 40 Under 40 for exemplifying leadership, foresight and a vision for the future of Westchester County, where he currently resides with his wife and two daughters. Consistent with the passion he holds for his professional career is the devotion he has to his family. Having never been a runner, Chris trained to run the New York City Marathon to raise money for the ALS Association after his father was diagnosed with the disease. When the Marathon was cancelled after Hurricane Sandy hit, Chris took it upon himself to run his own 26.2-mile marathon route in Westchester to honor his father.
