Chris is a Principal at Rea with over 35 years of experience specializing in manufacturing, construction, and not-for-profit industries. Since joining in 1988, Chris has built a reputation for exceptional client service and responsiveness while leading the Millersburg office. In June 2024, he relocated to lead Rea’s new Sarasota office. A Walsh University graduate, Chris is active in multiple CPA societies and provides strategic consulting to family-owned and emerging businesses. When not serving clients, he enjoys following Cleveland sports and spending time with family.

What do clients enjoy about working with you?

My responsiveness. Even if I don’t have an immediate solution, I let clients know that I’m working on whatever issue they are facing. I follow through on my commitments in the time promised.

What is your favorite line from the Rea Way and why?

Work together. To me this means working with clients collaboratively, and also including other Rea team members who have a skill or specialty in an area needed to serve clients' needs.
