About Kris Kischer:

 I am a graduate of the Ryerson Theatrical Production Program.  My studies prepared me for the production of set designs; however, since graduating, I have acquired many more skills, learned through years of stage production, special effects and operating a successful manufacturing business for 16 years.

I also have extensive experience with shipping, receiving, freight, and operating small loading equipment.  Further, I have a valid driver's license and an excellent driving record.

In addition, I am a hard worker, fast learner and can follow instructions well.  I also work well with people of all ages and enjoy working in a fast paced environment.
