Being the son of Glenn Payne (aka "dad boss"), Chris grew up around the insurance industry, though it was not his first career choice. Before PTA, Chris had his hands in many pies, including residential architecture, drafting, construction, electrical and banking.

​

After graduating from high school in 2008, Chris worked for a construction company completing demolition and reconstruction of residential dwellings. In early 2009, he joined an electrical company in which he worked on projects such as the Abbotsford Entertainment Centre and the Hub International Theatre in Chilliwack. In 2010, he completed the Architectural and Drafting program at UFV. Chris then moved into the banking industry for four years, before completely changing gears to the insurance industry. He joined PTA in 2016 for a new challenge and a great opportunity to learn from one of the best in the industry, "dad boss".

​

With his background in construction and drafting, Chris is our resident "sketcher" of dwelling layouts and building plans.

​

Chris is a level two adjuster handling property claims throughout the Fraser Valley and is working on his CIP designation.

When the phone isn't ringing, you can find Chris at the hockey rink, on the golf course, or exploring the Fraser Valley mountains in his 4x4.
