Background

About Chris Eden

I partnered with Amanda at Fair Game A+D Marketing to help companies put their best foot forward in their respective markets. THE STORY: I grew up the son of a carpenter and a teacher, learning to love tools and respect craftsmanship. I started the path to engineering but found better footing in business. My first agency job started as an internship and grew to 8 more years of learning print development and production, branding and identity development, public relations, corporate events & trade shows, strategic planning and internet marketing. I then joined the management team at a records storage and management company that also just happened to protect movie reels/media, medical records, and stuff I'm not allowed to tell you about in underground and above-ground facilities. I lead strategic planning initiatives, rebranding efforts, public relations and even developed a museum exhibit. We moved the family to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for seminary training and a three-year ministry internship in 2008. With a Masters in Divinity degree in hand (what a title, right?) I took my first pastoral appointment at historic Boehms United Methodist Church in 2011. Six years later I arrived at Memorial United Methodist Church in Quarryville, PA as lead pastor. I served for five years before moving the family back to Lancaster in 2022. In 2019 I partnered with Amanda Eden to establish Fair Game A+D Marketing. As Business Manager I get to flex those entrepreneurial muscles by helping build a business from the ground up. Financial management, copywriting, trade shows - whatever is needed - I make it happen. I signed on as Chief Operating Officer at Impact! Missions in May 2022. I focused on project scheduling, crew resourcing, warehouse operations, job site mentoring and external communications. In March 2023 I shifted to full time at Fair Game A+D Marketing, while also preaching and teaching in area churches to give their pastors well-earned rest for a weekend.
