Meet Chris A.
by Steve Brose

Chris A. is our Customer & Vendor Services Manager.  He started working at Indepak in 1986 and has gained a lot of knowledge by filling multiple roles during his employment here.  Chris has worked in our production facility, built production tooling in our tooling department, and helped develop our multimedia packaging department.  He also rebuilt machinery to run parts for the new department.  From 1995 to the present, he has worked making outside sales calls.  He has also worked as our president's assistant on special projects such as developing a very nice sales catalog. He has recently transitioned to his current role as a department manager.

Chris was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Portland, Gresham, and Corbett.  In his spare time, he likes archery hunting for deer and elk, dirt bike riding, playing pool, and working on high performance vehicles.  He also likes homeowner projects such as landscaping and enjoys his dogs.

Chris says he enjoys the people at Indepak and likes the culture here.  He also likes the jokes and pranks that keep the place interesting and fun.  He feels that the employees here are like a family.

Co-worker comments:
"Chris has many talents and interests.  I respect him for jumping in and learning new things by just doing them.  He got a degree in manufacturing technology and then went right to work making tooling."

" He has earned the respect of his co-workers and friends here at Indepak....he works as hard or harder as anyone here."

"He stays focused and works hard in every area I've seen him in.  He is doing it all from producing catalogs to forming the parts.  He is in fact the definition of our vision phrase Hard work is critical to our success."
