Chris has spent his entire career in Western Canada. In 1990 he moved to Vancouver and quickly became creative director of Palmer Jarvis DDB, helping lead that agency to three Agency of the Year titles in five years.

In 1999, Chris started Rethink with two partners. The agency has grown to 70 people in the years since, and has been named Canada's Agency of the Year twice. Clients include A&W Food Services, Sobeys, Bell Canada and Sirius Satellite Radio.
