Having joined ENSER in 1995 as an Account Manager, Chip’s rise within the company speaks to his commitment and the impact he has made. By 2003, Chip took the reins as Regional Manager of our Charlotte office, where his leadership doubled the division’s revenue and significantly grew the team.

His contributions will always be valued and remembered as he was vital to our success and continuity. His diligence, commitment, and dedication are worthy of admiration. It is rare to find a person with high character, loyalty, and drive!” said Marco Arnone, President of ENSER.

Chip’s journey started with his graduation from East Carolina University in 1984 with a BS in Industrial Technology. His early career as a Brand Representative at RJ Reynolds set the foundation for his eventual success in the engineering services sector. In 1995, ENSER was fortunate to welcome Chip, where his ability to foster and grow customer relationships quickly became apparent. Under his guidance, the Charlotte office flourished, cementing ENSER’s role as a trusted partner in the region.

ENSER opened its Charlotte office in 1984 at the request of Siemens, following the company’s relocation from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. Siemens has been a cornerstone client for ENSER for over 50 years, and Chip played a pivotal role in continuing that legacy. His ability to nurture relationships with Siemens and other key clients contributed immensely to the growth and success of the office.

As we celebrate Chip’s legacy, we are excited to introduce Adam Lentini, Senior Account Executive, who has been under Chip’s mentorship. Adam has developed a strong understanding of our clients’ needs and will continue to uphold the values Chip instilled in the Charlotte office. We are also pleased to announce that Mark Young will take on the role of Charlotte Office Manager, ensuring a seamless transition and continued success. Mark’s extensive experience within ENSER and his commitment to operational excellence make him the ideal choice to lead the team going forward.

Chip’s influence can be felt across ENSER, a company proud of its 77-year history of providing engineering solutions and placing a high value on employee retention. Much like the Charlotte office, ENSER has long prided itself on the strength of its team. From our beginnings in 1947, the company has been built by individuals who embody our values of commitment, innovation, and excellence.

As Chip moves into his well-deserved retirement, we know that his days will be filled with the pursuits he enjoys most—fishing, hunting, and spending time with loved ones. On behalf of the entire ENSER team, we wish him all the best in this exciting new chapter.

Chip’s legacy within ENSER is a true testament to his leadership, loyalty, and perseverance, and his impact will continue to inspire both present and future generations of employees.
