Responding to an increased interest in education due to the arrival of his children and a knack for technology, Chris co-founded BG Innovations in 2003. Prior to BGI, Chris developed the Mercury Free Zone program for the State of Minnesota (responsible for removing 2 tons of mercury from Minnesota schools). Chris also worked for a number of years in the fishing industry in Oregon and Alaska, initially as a scientist, but later as a crab and salmon fisherman on the Bering Sea. Chris has been active in his children's schools - volunteering in his sons' classes and serving as chair on the school board for a local charter school.

BGI researches and selects technology that we feel can effectively improve teaching and learning processes at a reasonable cost. We work with vendors who respect their customers, and produce high quality products. We also understand that technology doesn't always work perfectly, so we make sure our vendors can provide adequate support.
