- I, Chris Najvar have been in the commercial glazing industry for over ten years. I have been in charge of some of the most pristine projects known to the glazing world. I have been part of the pre- construction side, the installation side, the project management side, as well as the contractual side of numerous projects all throughout the United States. Some of my most well known clients that I have managed look as follows: Apple, LG Electronics, Smithsonian, United Therapeutics and more. Recently I have been in charge of the entire US. market for a spanish glass and steel construction company. I was hired as the US. Director of Field Operations to establish the US. market. I have always enjoyed the travel that my commercial opportunities brought with them, but after several years, I had to make a decision to settle down for my family's sake and that is how Wildflower Windows and Doors was born.
