About Chris Butler

Chris Butler grew up in North Philadelphia, where Broad Street divided two worlds, and he decided early that his circumstances would not define him. He served in the U.S. Army, stationed overseas in South Korea, where his work made both American and Korean history, a moment his commanding officer called proof that 'if you could pick only one candidate, Christopher C. Butler should get your vote.' Back home, he carried that same standard through years of service to the State of Florida and private industry, turning every closed door into his next opportunity.

“Our scars are our strength, and our strength is our Fingerprint on the world.”

In 2015, with a dream, a laptop, $3,000, and a wife who believed in him, Chris built EEIS Solutions while driving rideshare. Today, the veteran-owned company has delivered over $300 million in risk management impact for its clients, and Chris has developed more than 3,000 professionals. He's the creator of The L.I.V.E. Project, a keynote built on Leadership, Integrity, Vision, and Encouragement, and the author of The Fingerprint, coming 2027: the story of how the scars most people would hide became exactly who he was meant to be. He's a proud member of the Black National Speakers Association and the Florida Speakers Association.
