• Chris Bursk, PMP

    Project Engineer - L3Harris Robotics - Retired

  •  

    I am passionate about family, personal finance, and fitness. Now that I am retired from the 9 to 5 corporate life, I am able to focus on these things.

     

    In my corporate life, over the years, I gravitated from an individual contributor to leadership roles. I enjoyed roles that enabled me to mentor, train, and grow my team member’s skills and careers. I am a visually based person and greatly interested in user interface design and human-machine interactions. I closed my career with the L3Harris Robotics Enterprise working with a cross functional team of software, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers to bring one of our T7 and T4 systems to market.

     

  • It's all about the team. Work hard, be positive, and support each other. Together we can do great things.

  • CURRENT POSITION

    Retired - Self Employed

    July 2023 to Present

    Providing personal financial, fitness, and life coaching.
