In between political and government roles, Chris worked as a temporary staffer for diverse placement agencies in Austin and Washington. The challenges, frustrations, and rewards he encountered spurred him to launch PoliTemps, an agile and responsive talent agency.

His core goal has always been to bring amazing people together with worthy challenges. Working with political ‘influencers’ in Washington, Chris has created Fluency, an innovative social media communications agency.
