Since immigrating to the United States as a young man, Kris has overcome language and cultural differences to become a successful banking expert. While expanding his business education at a local college, Kris worked as an instructor at Ft. Lewis teaching much needed Albanian language skills for the US Army.

After his stint with Ft. Lewis, Kris worked in the hotel industry learning the ins and outs of running a large hotel operation. After a couple years, he decided that Banking was in his future and joined US Bank as a business development officer.

Kris’s US BANK experience brought him in contact with several community associations where he developed an interest in specializing in banking services for this unique industry. Due to his unique background and proven client skills, Kris became a member of Community Association Banc’s team in 2006 as the Regional Account Executive for Washington and Oregon.

Kris is an active member of the Washington State Community Association Institute (WSCAI) & (ORCAI) Oregon State Community Association Institute. Kris is currently serving as a committee member to the Education, Events and Legislative Action Committee. His drive to educate and serve our industry has helped Kris become a valuable resource to many associations throughout WA and Oregon.
