“I had the chance to work with Kris at True Temper and at 44 Pro after the acquisition. Kris managed our paid media and digital strategy with expert knowledge. Kris was one of the first to really lean into TikTok, helping us get ahead of the competition. Together, we were able to achieve a lot of “firsts” like the first baseball account to get 2.1M views on a single TikTok video, the first brand to sign an MLB player to a BBCOR contract, and the first college baseball bat NIL deal. He’s great at both the hands-on work and the big-picture thinking. Any team would benefit from having him on their side.”

- Enrique Celedon, Senior Global Brand Manager, Newell Brands

“I had the pleasure of working with Kris during our time at True Temper Sports. He always showed exceptional creativity, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how to build communities. Kris somehow managed social across four divisions, developing content strategies that not only increased our base but also improved engagement and brand awareness. Beyond his vast knowledge of digital media and marketing, Kris was a blast to work with every day and someone I have been lucky enough to consider a friend since."

- Keenan Phillips, Manager, Partnerships & Players, SPORTFIVE

“I had the awesome opportunity to work with Kris at True Temper Sports & 44 Pro, and honestly, he’s one of those people who just gets it. Smart, reliable, and genuinely great to work with — the kind of teammate everyone hopes to have on their side.

From day one, Kris brought a ton of energy and focus to every marketing project we tackled. He’s the person who can jump into a complex problem, break it down fast, and come back with smart, actionable solutions. He’s not just about checking boxes — he’s about actually making things better.

What really stood out to me was his mix of technical skill and people sense. He communicates clearly, keeps projects moving, and knows how to bring everyone together to get things done. Plus, he’s proactive — always spotting opportunities to improve workflows or make a process smoother before anyone even asks.

Kris’s got a sharp mind for all things Brand & Social Media and he balances that with a grounded, collaborative vibe that makes teams stronger.

Bottom line: Kris is the real deal. He brings results, raises the bar, and makes work way more enjoyable along the way.”

- Lindsey Dunn, E-Commerce Director, 44 Pro

Kris has a sharp ability to plan, execute, and evaluate campaigns with precision — always grounding his decisions in data and performance insights. He doesn’t just create content; he creates impact. From building out smart content calendars to producing reports that clearly tell the story behind the numbers, Kris consistently turns analytics into actionable strategies that drive growth. His organization, creativity, and analytical mindset make him a standout professional in digital marketing — and an absolute asset to any team.”

- Cole Chapman, Marketing Manager, TRUE Hockey

“I've rarely met anyone more hard-working and knowledgeable about the trends and (constant) changes happening in the world of social media. If there's a job to do, Kris will work until it's done. Kris had to handle diverse clients along with a myriad of projects and campaigns. He did so with a positive attitude and an innate understanding of strategy, illustrating his dedication to ensuring that all clients are supported in the best possible way.”

— Nadine Long, VP of Marketing, Glance

“Kris is what I like to think of as a steady force at work. Always driving toward his and his clients' goals in a deliberate and effective manner. I never saw Kris exhibit any outward signs of stress in a super quick-paced environment and never saw him turn down an opportunity to do great work. He was a great team member, always positive and someone you know you can always count on to get your clients where they need to go!.”

— Valerie Gunn Kim, Managing Director, Social, VML

He manages marketing budgets and paid advertising across multiple social channels exceptionally well, always optimizing for performance and ROI. Kris brings creativity, collaboration, and a results-driven mindset to every project and is a true asset to any team.”
