Chief Financial Officer
Location
LawrenceThere’s always an architectural story behind the numbers, and Chris has the professional experience to help project teams perform their best. As the firm’s Chief Financial Officer, he brings an operations focus to architecture.
Chris has more than 30 years of experience across engineering, construction, and manufacturing businesses and uses his skills in strategic and organizational planning, operational management, and global fiscal management and analysis to steer the firm toward success. His colleagues consider him a value-added business partner who understands business drivers and corrals the firm’s business managers toward common objectives. He fits in well at Treanor, having wanted to be an architect when he was young. He has found success and appreciates working at a firm that matches his early interests.
Chris calls himself a city-slicker through and through, having grown up in the Kansas City area. He also finds time to enjoy non-profit board service focused on helping others—specifically with Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas and the Nova Center.
