In another life, Chris Kollars would make a fine air traffic controller. The guy is utterly unflappable. In a room full of talkers, he listens. While others jockey for position near the panic button, he calmly cautions them to wait. When problems seem insurmountable, as they so often do in the world of technology and online media, he simply rolls up his sleeves and figures out how to solve them. He never craves the spotlight and prefers to let his work speak for itself. But, when he does open his mouth, he always has something interesting to say. While his style is understated, his curiosity and passion for all things Web are every bit as intense as anyone I have worked with.
