On September 22, 1981, Chris founded Sequoia Pacific Builders, Inc. Shortly after, he graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a degree in Architecture and moved back to Roseville to grow the company. In 1984, Chris co-founded Eatough & Borges Architects, an architectural firm also based in Roseville, and, over the next 14 years, successfully developed and expanded both businesses. Chris eventually decided to focus solely on construction and in 1998 sold his interest in the architectural firm. Sequoia Pacific Builders, Inc. has grown dramatically over the past three decades but has remained true to the values upon which it was founded. From the very beginning, Chris insisted on offering his customers detailed, personalized service. Still today, Chris makes a point of being accessible to all of the company’s clientele. He regularly meets with both current and prospective clients, is often asked to lend his architectural expertise, and is involved with all the day-to-day activity of the company.
