Throughout his tenure, Chris has advanced through a variety of leadership roles—including Controller, Client CFO, Implementation Specialist, and Sales/Account Manager—building a well-rounded perspective across all facets of the business. In 2017, he was instrumental in the successful merger with LBMC, helping to drive a seamless integration and establish a unified, scalable service model across the combined client base.

Originally from Australia, Chris came to the United States on a college tennis scholarship at Murray State University. He and his wife, Tara, now call the Nashville area home. When he is not growing the LBMC W Squared business, you can find Chris on trails of Nashville training for a Spartan race, or on the sidelines coaching his daughter, Chloe, in various sports.
