In 2010 Chris graduted on the Dean’s List from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with a bachelor’s of fine arts in Design and a minor in Communications. The tenacity and craftsmanship that earned him a high-honor’s degree never let up, bringing care and quality into the countless projects he approached from that day forward.

Chris was raised in a household that cherished creativity and craftsmanship. In 2012, he began the journey of remodeling homes, learning from his family business to restore and transform homes, meanwhile developing an understanding of safety and codes required for plumbing and electrical.

In 2014, Chris turned his attention to older homes, falling deeply in love with the worksmanship and craft that went into building and tastefully restoring century-old homes in Rochester, NY.

In 2025, Chris established NY Craftsman to leverage his technology and design background and branch out on his own to deliver quality transformations to homeowners in Monroe County. Chris utilizes technology to envision design transformations early in the planning process by using 3D modeling and Virtual Reality to place customers in their remodeled spaces to see their options before the work even begins.
