About Chris Drinkut
Social engagement has long been an integral part of 'what I do to provide value' to the communities and organizations I belong to. Whether by entertaining others on stage, or by developing multi-layered theories for consumer behavior I have sought to connect with others in meaningful ways for decades.
Meeting others, networking and simply connecting people with people in ways that make sense define the path I've taken not simply as an enthusiast for engagement, but as a creative communications consultant and public relations professional.
I approach relationships with genuine appreciation and excitement. Identifying needs and connecting people in a timely manner with sustainable solutions is really what excites me. I am skilled as a public speaker, and experienced in market research methodologies. I am also familiar and experienced in various modes of writing.
Working as a professional communicator has provided me with a world of opportunity of which I am truly grateful. My long-term career plans are strongly rooted in the communications field. I plan to expand upon my work as an account executive and continue growing in depth and innovation to serve clients of all types with dedication to excellence.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. said, “What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.” – I think he was on to something with that.
