Chris Myers
Chris is well known for his innovation and his strong leadership. Need proof? He
once commanded a seven-man team that functioned with such skill and efficiency as
to outperform groups three times their size. This team was entrusted with the highest
profile jobs and quickly established themselves as the core of the company. It sounds
like the legend of an elite ninja squad but that's business-as-usual with Chris.
As principal of SHIFT, Chris brings thirteen years of architectural experience to
the table. After graduating from Arizona State University, he began his career with
Randall Ewers & Associates, managing a multitude of diverse and unique projects,
both commercial and residential. He has ten years of developing, implementing, and
managing projects, and most recently, he held the position of Senior Project Manager
at K&I Architects. It was here that in transitioning the firm from AutoCAD to Revit,
he demonstrated the creativity and adaptability that you will experience working
with SHIFT. He not only managed the team that created and implemented the process
but did so while forging an atmosphere of teamwork and productivity. Chris is ready
to use these skills and more as he guides you down the path to Revit mastery.

Rueben Amado
You know those lauded few who begin their careers sweeping floors but through sheer
drive and determination climb their way to the upper echelons of a company? That
would be Rueben. Well, OK, perhaps he wasn’t sweeping any floors but he really did
begin his career green and at the very bottom. Fortunate enough to land a job with
a company that was eager to teach, Rueben was eager to learn and has built his decade
long career from the ground up to become an expert in his field; from grasshopper
to guru. It took motivation and hard-work to achieve this and these two characteristics
are still representative of his work ethic today.
Rueben’s career has spanned three very different companies, each of which had varying
ideas and attitudes. Prior to making the move to principal at SHIFT, he was a Project
Manager at K&I Architects where he managed numerous commercial projects, helped
with the completion of multi-family projects, and of course, became proficient in
Revit. From all of them he gained valuable knowledge and insight, and along with
the technical knowledge and experience.
