The Treble One Team

Treble One is a hand-picked, diverse team with a passion for marketing and a wealth of government and industry experience. We employ a team-based consulting model, which provides four intelligent individuals who are all available to cover and look out for the clients' interests.  Treble One’s clients are better served by this model because they gain the background and experience of four consultants instead of one.

Before coming to the USA in 1992, Chris enjoyed 20 years of service in the Royal Air Force including assignments in Germany, the Falkland Islands, Scotland, Wales, and England. He worked across the entire spectrum of aircraft engineering, from front-line maintenance on a quick reaction alert squadron, through equipment repair and overhaul, to management and airworthiness responsibilities of several fleets of aircraft systems. His love for the US way of life and the professional opportunities available came initially from TDYs to the US in support of various programs. A 3-year assignment to Wright Patterson AFB in 1992 provided the opportunity to retire from the RAF and live and work permanently in the US. After 4 years of representing client companies with ABDA Inc., Chris founded Treble One LLC in 1999 and continues to live the American dream of operating his own company.  Married for over 30 years and with two, now adult, children, Chris finds time to play golf and tennis, travel the world, and still visit his children in other states.
