Founder & CEO
Over a decade ago, Chris had the initial idea for what is now Genuine. Entrepreneurial from a young age, Chris has been leading innovative ventures in sports and technology since founding RadarGolf in the early 2000s. RadarGolf was a first-of-its-kind product (tech-enabled golf balls) that earned "Best Products of the Year" acclaim by BusinessWeek magazine. He sold the technology to Topgolf in 2015.
Chris spun off a company called RF Corp and pioneered the automated game tracking category in golf (tech-enabled golf clubs). See Arccos, GameGolf, and SkyCaddie. He sold the technology to SkyGolf in 2014.
In 2015, Chris presented the idea of "Indoor Topgolf" to Topgolf. He joined the company in 2018 and helped build that concept in the form of Topgolf Swing Suites and Lounge.
Chris specializes in product innovation and strategy, new business development, partnerships, intellectual property, technology licensing and general management. Chris is the primary inventor on over 50 patents worldwide.
Chris received his B.S. in engineering from Arizona State University and his M.S. in engineering from Stanford University.
