## Welcome to the Team: Chris Goins Joins Tangram Newport Beach
We're excited to introduce Chris Goins, the newest addition to our Newport Beach project management team. With his background managing projects for Steelcase dealers and a fresh perspective from the East Coast, Chris brings valuable experience to our growing team.
### Getting to Know Chris
**Chris Goins, Project Manager**
Originally from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Chris made the cross-country move to California just last July. His transition from the East Coast to the West Coast represents more than just a change of scenery – it's brought new insights and approaches to our project management practices.
"I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from my co-workers and contributing to the project management team," Chris shares about his new role at Tangram.
### Beyond the Office
When we asked Chris about his interests outside of work, his answers revealed someone who values both entertainment and practicality. If stranded on an island, he'd want a tent for shelter, a book for mental stimulation, and a soccer ball to stay active – showing the kind of practical thinking that serves project managers well.
His most adventurous culinary experience? Squirrel – which he describes as "interesting" but not terrible. As for karaoke, Chris admits he's never taken the mic, though if he were to throw a party, it would definitely have an 80s theme with Rick Astley as the guest of honor.
### What Chris Brings to Tangram
Chris's experience in project management within the commercial furniture industry, combined with his proactive approach to problem-solving, makes him a natural fit for our team. His goal is to bring both his professional experience and a different perspective to help strengthen our project delivery capabilities.
"I hope to bring experience and a different perspective to the team," Chris explains, highlighting the collaborative mindset that makes our Newport Beach location thrive.
### Looking Forward
As commercial projects become increasingly complex, having experienced project managers who can adapt to new environments and bring fresh approaches is essential. Chris's combination of industry knowledge and willingness to learn positions him well to contribute to our continued success.
Welcome to the Tangram family, Chris! We're excited to see how your experience and enthusiasm will help drive our projects forward.
