Chris joined Elder’s in June of 2007 and has been our East Ridge Store Manager since October of 2016. Chris has worked at our Brainerd, Southside, Redbank and East Ridge stores. His favorite department is Lawn and Garden. Chris previously worked for a landscaping company and has always enjoyed working outdoors. When asked what he enjoys most about working at Elder’s, Chris said “Working with different customers on a daily basis and helping them solve their problems, whether big or small. Knowing that I have helped complete a project is the best.” On his day off, Chris enjoys doing yard work, cooking and doing home projects. He also enjoys attending church and spending Sundays with his wife, Ryann, and their son, Grayson. Chris was born and raised in upstate New York in Newark. His first job was McDonalds, which he feels helped him with his retail skills.
