Freelance Staff

Chris Clasen   President/Owner

Chris was 6 years old when Freelance opened its doors in 1980, so one might assume he grew up in this family-owned business.  While obtaining a business degree at the University of Miami, he had the opportunity to work at many customer sites during his Christmas and summer vacations. As a result, Chris learned the industry from the ground up. He soon came to realize how critical the staffing industry is to American manufacturing. Upon graduation, Chris worked full time in the retail golf business for two years and part time at Freelance, before joining full time in 1998. In 2002, he purchased the business and took over as president.  When Chris is not working hard building Freelance, he is working hard on his golf game carrying a 1 handicap at Indian Hills Golf Club in Stillwater.
