Leading with Corazón means leading from lived experience, empathy, and deep respect for people and place. Rooted in his upbringing in North Side, Chris leads with heart because he understands the power of being seen, supported, and believed in. Shaped by the strength of his mother and the wisdom of his grandmother, Corazón guides how he builds relationships, earns trust, and shows up for his community. It is leadership that honors dignity, centers humanity, and remains grounded in where he comes from.
Leading with Service
Service is the foundation of Chris’ leadership. From mentoring young people to serving on local boards and building opportunities through his business, he leads by putting others first. For Chris, leadership is not about titles or recognition, but about responsibility to community. It is about opening doors, removing barriers, and standing alongside families as they work toward stability and opportunity. Service means showing up consistently and using influence to strengthen the collective good.

Every role he takes on, every decision he makes, and every initiative he supports is guided by a clear commitment to long term impact. Whether in business, education, or civic leadership, he is thoughtful about how choices affect people and neighborhoods. Leading with intention ensures that progress is meaningful, sustainable, and rooted in accountability to the community he serves.
