David Christakes

Alsip Home & Nursery

President of Green Goods

• Responsible for overseeing operations at the largest volume store in the three-location company and planning production for Alsip’s 180,000-square-foot production facility.
• A military veteran, his business philosophy is to create and nurture a “dream team” because “nothing gets done without the whole team at its back.”

A Lot to be Thankful for: A cancer survivor since his teen years, David really appreciates life with his wife and 4-year-old son, “who has been the most influential person in my life.”

Favorite Flick: “Rushmore.” David notes, “I am a fan of all of Wes Anderson’s films.”
