Chris Korte

Regional Operations Manager, Midwest

Chris began his construction career at a young age, learning to paint and install cabinets from his uncles. After high school, he joined a local civil contractor as a laborer, progressed to a carpenter role, and swiftly moved up to a supervisor position, all while attending school. In 2007, Chris earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from SIUE. He subsequently started his own company, focusing on commercial and residential construction and collaborating with his family to develop real estate.

Chris further expanded his expertise by working with another civil contractor specializing in the transmission and distribution sector. In 2020, he moved to Dakota, where he has become an integral part of the Dakota team, thanks to his diverse experience in the construction industry.

Chris has been married to his wife Mallory since 2008, and they have four children: Madyson, Wyatt, and twins Melody and Waylon. He loves coaching his boys in baseball and soccer and enjoys being a dance dad for his girls. When not busy with family activities, Chris enjoys the outdoors, engaging in fishing, hunting, and boating.
