Hey there! I’m kris, a curious and hands-on person who loves building things—whether it’s a new business, an engineering project, or just a good conversation. I have a background in automobile mechanics, plastic fabrication, and TIG welding, and I’m currently working on sustainable solutions in plastic recycling. I operate an extruder machine to create recycled plastic sheets and planks under my brand, Replastix.

Beyond work, I’m an early riser who enjoys fitness, coffee, and experimenting with nutrition. I hit the gym at 5 AM, so if you’re an early bird too, we’ll get along great! I’m also learning German and always up for a challenge—whether it’s improving my language skills or perfecting a new technique in my workshop.

I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging ideas, and sharing experiences. If you’re into sustainability, innovation, or just a good conversation over a strong cup of coffee, I’d love to connect !
