Chris founded Third Option Advisory to help organizations navigate complexity, build capability, and turn strategy into action.

​

Drawing on more than two decades of leadership experience in U.S. Special Forces, he has spent his career solving complex problems in dynamic and high-consequence environments where success depended on people, preparation, and the ability to see opportunities others overlooked.

​

Today, he advises government organizations, defense companies, technology developers, and mission-focused leaders on organizational readiness, leadership, operational strategy, and capability employment. His work focuses on helping clients develop practical approaches that create enduring advantages rather than temporary solutions.

​

At the core of his approach is a simple belief: the best outcomes are rarely found by choosing between the obvious options. They are achieved by identifying the path others have not yet considered.
