After completing school Chris began to work full time. In 1982 he took a break from his job in excavation to commercial fish in Alaska. After seven years of fishing Chris continued working in excavation until an opportunity to work for a local logging company surfaced. During his six years in the logging industry Chris worked in every corner of San Juan County and in the Bellingham area... In 1995 Chris and his wife, Sherry decided to start their own excavation Company. Their company started with three pieces of used equipment and their kitchen table doubling as their office.
