Chris Mills

Chris distinctly remembers walking around his neighborhood as a kid and being fascinated by utility infrastructure such as manholes, catch basins, and the like and wondering, how does all this work? Curious about these fundamentals, as well as being good at math and physics, he shifted his initial college focus from criminal justice to civil engineering. Fast forward to 2006, and Chris was hired to work on a variety of projects out of BKF’s Walnut Creek office.

His favorite projects, completed over the span of his career, include those where he has been able to guide the process toward a positive outcome and away from a potential problem that could have been detrimental to his client.

He also particularly enjoys when he is able to connect with clients who understand the importance of what they do and are engaged in the process.

He feels that BKF is a unique place to work because the senior staff are a trustworthy group of individuals who are accountable for and to their staff, accountable for their results, their contributions, and to each other.
