AJ Watson
CPO | INTELERAD

Chris Meroff
ENTREPRENEUR & BUSINESS OWNER | WILCO WORKSPACES

Chris grew up in the Northeast and began working for his parents at a very young age. He has always been a risk-taker with a passion to employ his community. Today he currently owns a variety of small businesses based out of Austin, TX and Machiasport, ME. With over 25 years of experience owning and operating businesses, he has dealt with a diverse group of people from clients to employees to competition.

All this experience has taught him that relationships matter, people matter. Guilt and shame are the chains that bind us to bad behavior and lead to isolation. Chris believes that when we walk in vulnerability and empathy, we can find our way towards a relationship. The beauty of culture when people gather together should be celebrated and cultivated, not ignored.
