Chris Penasa

A day after graduating from Marquette University (and just weeks before his twenty-first birthday), Chris began his professional career by buying the family business from his father. After eight years, Chris sold that business and then spent seven years in Bermuda with a large retail-based investment firm. In 2016, Chris founded Small Business Growth Partners with Terry Elton, and together they’ve built a private business coaching firm that focuses on builders, remodelers, and HBA Associate Members. SBGP has garnered national recognition by achieving the highest customer satisfaction rate (and documented results) of any construction and trade specialized private coaching firm in the U.S. As of 2022, SBGP operates in 15 states and is the primary coaching firm for 30% of the nation’s Home Builder Associations. Chris resides in Winter Garden, Florida, and when he’s not working, he enjoys reading, scuba diving, and exploring his state.
