We engage in conversations with successful business owners to learn the little things that made the journey of building their companies special. Then we discuss how they plan to hand off their business to the next generation of leadership.

This episode is with special guest Chris Seeger, Co-Owner of Chesterfield Service.

Chris is a second-generation co-owner and steward of Chesterfield Service, overseeing a team of over seventy skilled professionals who provide comprehensive mechanical services for homes and businesses. In 1976, Chris's father, Charlie, founded Chesterfield Service with nothing more than a van and a vision. Upon graduating from West County Trade School in 1985, Chris joined the company as its fourth employee. He has since embraced a continuous learning journey, gaining knowledge through hands-on experience, and eagerly working towards earning his doctorate in Hard Knocks.

Chris instills his team with a powerful mission: to deliver Exceptional Service that reflects their devotion to God and commitment to serving people. Since acquiring the business in 2009, the company has experienced remarkable growth, consistently achieving annual growth rates of over twenty percent. Their exceptional performance has earned them numerous accolades, including the prestigious 2023 Top Workplaces award, the BBB Torch award, and the national Best of the Best recognition. With an impressive collection of nearly 13,000 genuine client reviews, it is evident that their mission is resonating with their satisfied customers.

Recognizing the importance of lifelong learning and nurturing future talent, Chris actively engages in the development of the next generation. He and his team are actively involved in guiding and supporting educational initiatives at Ranken Technical College, American Trade School North, and South County Vocational Tech.
