Chris Somero

Business Development Lead
Chris Somero

I began working with WEC in January of 2023 and I spend my days helping develop the business, setting and executing strategy, and finding ways to connect with current and potential customers. I enjoy matching up customers that can benefit from Wikstrom Engineering's rooftop testing and inspection expertise. When the product or service is something I can believe in, sales is a "win-win" proposition for both the customer and the company. I've been afraid of heights since I was a child, so fortunately, helping with the business side of things is perfect for me because I can leave the high work to the rest of the team! My four kids take up a lot of my time, but I also enjoy being with friends, outdoor activities like hiking or sports, and a CrossFit class as often as possible. I'm passionate about fixing or building things, including cars, house projects, and businesses. I'm also an on-call firefighter for the city I live in in Minnesota - my wife is happy I found a hobby that actually pays me instead of the other way around!
