Art Media NW Podcast

Chris started PDS, Property Damage Solutions about 7 years ago with a great deal of experience in drafting, project management, restoration and a degree in architecture from Portland State University. He is a family man with a wife and 3 children. He is one of the most enthusiastic music listeners I have ever met, and the biggest Smashing Pumpkins fan that I know! Other than the squeaky chair we had a great conversation, and it's easy to see why there are so many parallels between arts and business!
