MEET CHRIS MEYER:<br />
INSIDE SALES<br />
Chris Meyer, Senior Inside Salesman, for Sprenger Midwest<br />
began his career in the building material business back in the<br />
summer of 1998 working for his dad at the West Point Home<br />
Center in West Point, NE.<br />
He continued through high school and graduation from Dana College in Blair, NE in 2004 -<br />
where he played baseball for 4 years. After college, Chris joined Sprenger Midwest and<br />
moved to Sioux Falls, SD, where he has been a very valuable member of the sales and<br />
marketing team ever since.<br />
Anyone that has the pleasure of working with Chris knows that he has a passion for the<br />
lumber business and taking care of his customers. His hard-working yet easy-going style,<br />
coupled with his exceptional product knowledge and industry experience have made him a<br />
person that his customers trust and depend on. When asked about what the favorite part of<br />
his career with Sprenger Midwest has been so far, Chris said: “It’s the relationships I have<br />
built over the years I wouldn’t trade for the world. It’s so fun bringing quality products to<br />
quality people in our industry. Yes there are challenges along the way, but the daily<br />
interactions with my loyal customers really has meant a lot to me over the years.” Chris has<br />
customers all over the upper Midwest, with many being in his home state of Nebraska; and<br />
they love their native son, rewarding him with the Nebraska Lumber Dealers Salesman of<br />
the Year award in 2011.<br />
For as busy as Chris is at work, he balances that out by being equally busy outside of the<br />
office. He enjoys family time with wife Jodi, and daughter Cambrie (10) and her busy<br />
gymnastics schedule, and son Karsten (7) and his busy sports schedule too. Jodi is a<br />
counselor at Pettigrew Elementary in Sioux Falls where their kids go to school. Coaching is<br />
a big part of Chris’ free time where he loves working with Cambrie’s softball teams as well<br />
as Karsten’s baseball, basketball and football teams. He also continues to play amateur<br />
baseball for the A’s of Colman, SD; and when not watching, coaching or playing ball, he and<br />
his family spend time out in the Black Hills (SD) each year vacationing.
