Director of Strategic Partnerships

Chris brings a unique blend of public service, entrepreneurial drive, and strategic vision to his role as Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Rally Point Nonprofit Council. After more than twenty-seven years with the Little Rock Police Department—where he rose to the rank of Sergeant and led units in crisis negotiation, special response, and crime suppression—Chris retired in 2023 with over thirty commendations and a reputation for calm leadership under pressure. In 2019, while still serving in law enforcement, Chris founded Local Roofing & Construction, which has grown into a thriving residential and commercial building company. His success as a multi-million-dollar sales producer and licensed builder reflects his strengths in marketing, operations, and strategic planning. Chris also hosts the Business & Politics – Inside podcast, a platform that amplifies the voices of local entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders in both the business and political sectors. In 2025 he expanded his civic engagement by managing two political campaigns, sharpening his skills in data strategy and public outreach. At Rally Point Nonprofit Council, Chris leverages this diverse background to forge powerful partnerships, connect organizations with resources, and help nonprofits nationwide collaborate, grow, and mobilize to strengthen their communities.
