Hi, I’m Chris 👋 · Mount Pleasant, SC

I help people.

Most of the time that means helping you make money — brand strategy, marketing, and the websites and automation behind it. You do the work you love, and I’ll wrestle the tools.

What I'm working on

Here’s what’s keeping me busy

OwnerConsulting

JetStart Consulting LLC

My consulting company! I help with brand development and digital marketing, and I build and host websites for local businesses I love working with — a dental practice, a urology practice, a law firm, a cleaning service, a massage therapist, and landscaping and fencing companies.

Co-founderCraft chocolate

Bar & Cocoa

A marketplace and subscription club for amazing bean-to-bar chocolate from award-winning, small-batch makers. I’ve grown its distribution, picked the makers and hosted the tastings (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds 🍫).

Front end associateRetail · part-time

Harris Teeter

You’ll find me at the Six Mile store in Mount Pleasant, chatting with real customers every shift. I also built teeter.lacey.me, a little home base for my coworkers.

Harris Teeter isn't affiliated with this page or with my consulting work.

Systems I build

Want to see how I work? Start here.

I use these every single day to run my own business and life — and I’d love to build something like them for you.

CRM

One contact list, from everywhere

Four website forms, Google Contacts and Apple Contacts feed one database. It catches duplicates and keeps a before-and-after record of every change, whoever or whatever made it.

Text line

A phone line that sorts itself

Every text is saved to that same database. The ones that can't wait go straight to my cell, everyone else gets a friendly "got it," and I can reply from my own phone without handing out my number.

Automation

A morning brief that writes itself

Every morning it reads 13 calendars and my inbox, then lays out my day and what's happening with the people I care about — and it can tell a cancelled trip from a real one.

Websites

Forms that speak your visitor's language

Contact forms in ten languages — from Spanish and Portuguese to Hindi and Arabic — that send each person to the right place and record exactly where they found me.

Community

Where my heart is

Steering TeamSince day one

No Guilt No Shame

A free, peer-led recovery community that meets every day on Zoom and Discord. I’m proud to be the only person who’s been on its Steering Team since the very beginning, and I’m rebuilding its website.

People I'm in it with

Friends doing awesome things

Rob Russo

Founder, No Guilt No Shame

Rob started No Guilt No Shame and still helps run it on the Steering Team, where we’ve worked side by side from the start. I’ve visited him in person lots of times.
