I'm a husband, dad, and a businessman championing the relentless pursuit of purpose

Chris Kiefer is the founder of paintOS. As marketing director of a $10M painting company he could not trust a single number he was looking at, because none of the systems talked to each other. He trained as an engineer, so he spent three years wiring the CRM, estimating, production and accounting together, and the company grew to $21M. Other painting companies asked for the same setup, and that became paintOS, which now runs the systems behind 24 of them. He speaks to contractor associations and leadership teams about what AI can do with the data they already have.

When Chris was just 21 years old, his father, a dedicated PE teacher, passed away. At the funeral, witnessing the gratitude of 700 attendees whose lives had been touched by this loving man, Chris found true meaning: to share the wisdom of a purposeful life, inspired by his father. As he explains, he champions the relentless pursuit of purpose.
