Founder, Contractor genesis
I’m Christopher Wharton.
If you’re up for listening, I’ll talk about myself and where I started on this page.
I saw a common problem with many contractors and service business owners: finding profitable projects on a predictable, on-demand basis.
That’s why I started Contractor Genesis.

Professional and nonprofessional experience
Boots on the ground
- I was a tradesman and contractor first and foremost. This led me to start a business solving the very problems that annoyed me the most.
- My first business: cutting grass at 8 years old in Groveport Ohio.
- First job I had: Installing furnaces and heat pumps with Dad at age 10.
- Family roots and hobbies includes farming and homesteading, building rustic furniture and enjoying the rolling landscape of southeast Ohio.
Other work i've done
- When not working in the trades, I always enjoyed working in agriculture. Started small with simple gardening and eventually graduated to operating combines and bulldozers in my spare time. Not for everyone, but I love getting behind the wheel of a big machine.
- Took some years outside the United States to teach English and American sports to children in different countries around the world.
- I’m a huge fan of everything outside. Winter sports, summer activities, and everything that goes with it, the list is too long.
things other than work
- Traveling around the world is my favorite thing. I’ve scratched 15 countries off the list and managed to live in 4 of them.
- I like teaching the next generation hard work and innovation. I like to learn by experience, getting out of the comfort zone and encourage everyone to do the same.
- In any given year you can see me go from working in the field back in Ohio, teaching sports and culture in a village somewhere, and fishing, exercising, and enjoying nature everywhere and anywhere between.
