By focusing on finding craftspeople that are enthusiastic about problem-solving, we are able to innovate and continually improve with each new challenge. Each piece we create is the result of creative problem-solving and collaboration between our design and build teams.

Operations Manager

Christopher Asher

Chris has been with our business for four years and brings over a decade of experience in general carpentry and the trades. He’s always been naturally skilled, leaving college to attend a local carpentry trade program. He started his career in remodeling, then worked as a plumber, in building maintenance, and eventually trained as an assistant superintendent for a local general contractor. Chris joined Tulsa Cabinets in 2020 as a bench carpenter, quickly advanced to shop foreman, and now serves as our operations manager.

Beyond his impressive skills, Chris is a dedicated and hardworking individual, known for his strong family values and loyalty. He’s an exceptional leader with a talent for constructive criticism and problem-solving. One of the qualities I admire most in Chris is his accountability; he leads by example and expects the same standard from those around him.
