Chris has been a collections care professional in the commercial sector since 2002. His experience in packing and crating objects is built from managing perpetually busy art handling environments, negotiating crating specifications from many institutions on both coasts and points in between, and a personal drive to explore more effective solutions for a range of budgets. Among his secret contributions to the field are comprehensive proprietary calculation tools for crating design and operations, labor projections, and static loading.
