About Chris

I lead Defense Mobile Corporation’s business development and strategic partnering efforts. This includes identifying and forging commercial and philanthropic relationships with US Government, Veteran Service, Not-for-Profit, and commercial enterprises that support our Military, our Veterans, and their Families.

I have nearly 18 years of service at the operational and strategic levels of private sector, military, and non-profit organizations. Before DMC, I spent nearly a decade at AT&T, where I most recently launched and led the company’s Military Recruitment program. I previously led Social Media and Digital Care efforts within AT&T’s business segment, as well as supply-chain, customer care, and fulfillment teams.

I am currently an Army Reserve Logistics Officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. I've held command and staff assignments at the Company, Battalion, and Brigade Levels, including wartime service in Iraq.

I joined the Army through the Army ROTC program at Rutgers University, with a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science (Human Physiology). I also somehow fit in a few years of Lacrosse for the Scarlet Knights.
