Chris Seay was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. After graduating from Central High School, Chris began a 10+ year career as a successful call center manager. During that career, he lived in Johnson City, Tennessee and Denver, Colorado, but he always called Knoxville his home. Upon returning to East Tennessee, Chris had the opportunity to help launch and manage a website selling sports apparel and memorabilia, and eventually took over as the retail store manager for the company's West Town Mall location. Chris became a stay-at-home dad in 2013 when his daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy. Chris and his wife Missi became staunch advocates for epilepsy awareness, and Chris created a blog during this time to help other families learn more about epilepsy and infantile spasms. He began selling real estate in 2017, and in 2019 he earned the "Everest Award" at his previous brokerage for highest increase in sales (out of 200+ agents!) Chris has a deep love for the Knox County and East Tennessee area, and takes pride in providing stellar and individualized service to each of his clients.
