Speaker bio
I’m Christopher L. Penn — a U.S. Air Force veteran, father, entrepreneur, and author. My career started in sales and business development, from launching Wireless Wave to automotive and pharmaceutical-related sales, before roughly 17 years in renovation, construction, and restoration. It started with a hammer and a willingness to figure things out, and it taught me how to sell, build, operate, solve problems, and grow businesses from the ground up.
I’ve built and operated multiple businesses, including companies that reached seven figures in annual sales. I’m the founder of a Veteran-Owned Small Business, SAM.gov registered, and was selected for the 2023 IMPEL cohort.
Today I’m building America’s Healthy Home Platform™ through Mr Hemp House®, Home Health Scan™, and healthier building materials and systems, while developing businesses in sales technology, digital legacy, brand development, entrepreneurship, publishing, and education.
I speak on sales, entrepreneurship, construction, healthy homes, business building, leadership, and technology — and I write books for the people doing the work. The goal is always the same: build things that matter and leave something better behind.
