What Does Bravynia Mean?

We created the name Bravynia, (bruh-vin-ee-uh).

It comes from Bravyn (brave, good, or honest) combined with — ia (place). Together Bravynia is a place where people are brave, kind and true. Principles we live by.

Be Brave. Courage is taking the road few will travel.

Be Kind. Kindness is the only wealth that grows when you spend it.

Be True. Trust is built with stone but breaks like glass.

Chris brings over 20 years of real estate sales experience to every client relationship. Raised on a farm in Woodstock, Vermont, he developed a lifelong appreciation for the land, its history, and the quiet beauty of New England living.

After graduating from Bowdoin College, Chris began his career in New York City in magazine advertising sales, where he met his wife, Carole. He later earned his MBA at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, working in management consulting and at an Internet startup before returning to Vermont in 2003 to raise their three sons.
