We’re excited to welcome Chris Coates to the WhiteSpace team as our newest Project Coordinator. Chris brings a unique blend of technical insight, business strategy, and a drive for continuous improvement—qualities that align perfectly with our commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

Chris holds a Bachelor’s of Specialized Studies from Ohio University, where he designed a custom degree program focused on Lean Six Sigma, Business Administration, and Project Management. This innovative approach to his education mirrors the way he approaches his work—thoughtfully, strategically, and always with an eye toward creating meaningful impact.

He’s a powerful CAD operator with a passion for precision, and he’s especially excited to apply those skills to low voltage design. His ability to visualize and translate complex technical systems into clear, actionable design documents adds tremendous value to our team and to the WhiteSpace project process.

His ability to connect technical problem-solving with strategic business thinking makes him a strong asset to our team and clients alike.

When asked what drew him to WhiteSpace, Chris shared:

“You know you’re in the right place when you get that feeling that you can’t quite put into words, you just know it’s where you are meant to be. That’s exactly how I felt stepping into my role as Project Coordinator at WhiteSpace Technology. There’s a sense of purpose and excitement here that’s hard to describe. I’m especially looking forward to growing in a team-based environment where collaboration and open communication are at the heart of everything we do. I truly believe that the best solutions and most successful projects come from working closely with others, communicating throughout the project, learning from each other, and building something greater together.”

Chris’s enthusiasm for innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence reflects the culture we strive to cultivate at WhiteSpace—where every team member contributes to building smarter, more connected environments for our clients.

Welcome to the team, Chris. We’re lucky to have you.
