RISHER MARTIN - Key Persons
After graduating from The University of Texas (BS, Finance), Chris jumped head first into the home building industry. Working for two of the largest national home builders, Chris moved quickly through the ranks - first, managing on-site construction of hundreds of homes, then planning large scale master planned communities. Chris left production building to pursue his love for old houses and fine craftsmanship. Chris' high standards and eye for detail are a huge asset to our clients and architect partners. In his spare time, Chris is a skilled craftsman - building furniture, cabinets, and even his own home.
Chris is a past board member of the Real Estate Council of Austin and former President for Austin's National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Chris is a NARI Certified Remodeler, was named one of Professional Builder magazine's "40 Under 40" builders, Professional Remodeler's "40 under 40", and is the 2016 Fred Case Remodeling Entrepreneur of the Year.
