Technology is essential for any modern workplace. When the Coalition transitioned to working from home in March 2020, our reliance on dependable technology became more important than ever. This smooth transition would have been impossible without our IT & Facilities Manager Chris Sapp. Learn more about him below!

Q: Where are you from originally?

I’m originally from Claxton, Georgia. 

Q: What do you love most about Houston?

After growing up in a small town, the one thing that I would have to say I love most about Houston would be having access to many things. Everything you need is close and available.

Q: What made you want to work in the area of homelessness? 

I was not aware of how much homelessness there was until I moved to Houston. Helping others has always been something that motivates me. 

Q: Can you tell me a little about your role at the Coalition and what it entails?

I manage the technology and facilities of the Coalition. My main function is keeping all the technology up-to-date and current and making sure all employees have the right tools for the job. 

Q: Are there any specific projects you are working on right now? 

We are currently installing a new keyless entry system for the office and setting up the ability to print our own ID badges. We just completed a major phone system upgrade and office redesign to better fit our employees.

Q: What is the most inspiring part of your job?

Keeping up with new technologies and finding ways to implement those technologies for the Coalition.

Q: Do you have any hobbies outside of work?

PC gaming and photography are two of my hobbies. If I can find the time, I also enjoy taking a ride on my Harley.

Q: What makes you proud?

My family. Nothing makes me prouder than my wife and kids.

Q: If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?

Flying...I hate TRAFFIC!

Q: Tell us one fun fact about yourself!

I have owned an escape room in Kemah for the past five years.
