Braxton-Bragg’s welcomes salesman Chris McKenzie to its staff. McKenzie has been involved in sales and marketing throughout his career.          

At 18, he started out doing telephone sales. At 19, he began working for a home improvement company and climbed the ladder to become its vice president of marketing and sales.

These experiences have honed the skills that McKenzie now brings to the service of Braxton-Bragg customers. “I’m 100 percent customer service focused,” he said. “I like to make sure my customers are taken care of. I focus on making sure that I’m going to get you what you need, when you need it, and make sure we get it right the first time.”

The desire to leave a life of business travel behind helped lead McKenzie to Braxton-Bragg. “I’ve got too many kids that need dad,” he said, laughing.

Familiar with the company through a friendship with a longtime employee, McKenzie said he liked what he saw of Braxton-Bragg. “They treat people right, and I like that. There are smart people behind the wheel. They take good care of people.”

This led McKenzie to join the Braxton-Bragg team where he enjoys his work. In his personal life, McKenzie’s joy is spending time with his fiancé, Jillian, and their joint family. “My hobbies are my three boys and my fiancé’s boy,” he said. “We’ve four kids between the two of us. Kids are about all the free time I’ve got — football games, basketball games, baseball games, and tooling around spending time with the fam.”

Braxton-Bragg offers a full range of fabrication tooling and installation accessories including sinks, installation hardware, and every tool and piece of equipment needed to run a professional stone, tile, and polished concrete shop.
