From a young age, Chris Hanson pursued his dream of being a visual artist. Soon after getting his degree in fine arts, he found himself touring as the lead singer of a band, which took him through the next 11 years. He and his wife Merle ended up in Newburgh, a convenient location for both of their careers. Like many people coming to Newburgh, they got involved in home restoration, something that Chris was already experienced at from his childhood. Before he knew it, his band retired from touring, and he shifted his attention to helping other people come to Newburgh as a real estate broker. His passion for the city and historic homes established him as "the go-to agent for those who shared the Newburgh passion".Chris continues to help bridge the gaps between art, music, and business in the Newburgh
community.
