It’s a close-nit community and she loves her little town of just 800 people.

Chris Elias joined Trailer Decking.com October 1, 2023, as a sales representative. Chris grew up in Toronto, ON and earned a Business Diploma at Seneca College and then went on to get his Business degree at Toronto School of Business. After 25 years working for Royal Bank of Canada as a Relationship Manager in the Mutual / Pooled fund industry, he decided it was a good time to make a change. He became a licensed Private Investigator for a few years then went on to work in the Film/TV industry in the transport division and then took on a variety of other customer focused position to fill his time. He has a few passions, and one would be cooking since his background is Greek and the family was in the restaurant business for over 50 years. When not cooking up a storm he’s hopefully riding his Harley in favorable weather with a bunch of buds or just enjoying family time with his wife and adult children. This new chapter brings his client skills up front to build long lasting relationships with his Trailer Decking.com clients. Don’t hesitate to call and let’s build something together.
