CHRIS RITTER
Construction Supervisor
Chris is another blast from the past. Once a GC and licensed electrician, Chris supervised the luxury homes HPE president, Nate Otto built here in Palm Springs. He joined HPE in 2011 as the Construction Supervisor and is now the VP of Engineering. The role is twofold as he spearheads training of electrical best practices to high level complicated storage concepts. He is also the principal for designing our many leading-edge, highly technical designs. This however does not mean he sits in the office all day. He is often out in the field making sure that what was planned in office is well-executed in the field.
