Christopher Clai’s Summary

My goal in life is simple, and that is to innovate and improve life in all aspects.

I started as an Entrepreneur in 1999 starting my first computer business which went on to be one of Central Florida's most renown networking firms. In 2001, I changed its name to something easier to comprehend "Contiga Networks Systems".

In 2004, i left the lucrative computer networking industry in search for something more exciting. For the last two quarters of 2004, I was the stage and A/V technician for a large convention startup in Miami, FL.

Returning back to Orlando in 2005, I began taking a hobby of mine (internet broadcasting) into something more mainstream, and turning it into a company with my co-founder Chad Coburn called Contiga Broadcasting.

Contiga Broadcasting has had an interesting history in only 4 years, maintaining it's startup status as we change directions and tweak our offerings.

For a few years, I worked Retail at Target and Circuit City to gain experience in distribution and retail sales for later goals.

Toward the later of 2008, I began looking at other opportunities and began opening up new companies in light of one of the worst recessions in America's history.

Then in 2009, I joined with two others to start Ballerz, Inc.; a paintball / extreme sports startup with large ambitions. To help companies through the tough times, I also started Innoverti Business Solutions, which helps guide businesses through this difficult time, and helps them succeed.

I look to be an inspiration to individuals, to change their mindset. I look to improve, and advance the business world to more ethical practices and to never judge anyone by appearance. I always look to invest in new projects and idea's, the very lifeblood of the American economy.
