About the CEO
My name is Christopher Cinkus. I am currently a junior at Chicago Hope Academy, as well as the founder and CEO of the Second City Paint: Residential Painting Company.
This company was not solely created as my business project for the Entrepreneurial Youth Experience course. I created it because I wanted to give back to the community in a manner that I felt would be successful and I would have a passion for.
I have had several years of experience in the painting industry. My father was also a general contractor for many years. I began painting my own house during our remodeling period. I then moved on to paint friends' houses and apartment complexes in Chicago.
