Chris Downs, a Laramie resident since 2012, is the newest agent at Range Community Insurance. Chris, originally from Colon, Michigan -The Magic Capital of The World- came to Wyoming in 2009 for a job in the oil and gas industry where he worked in the safety department. Chris relocated to Laramie in 2012 and has lived here since, outside of a brief stint in Denver, where he followed the love of his life, Kayla, while she pursued her education. While Chris maintains close relationships with his large family in Southwest Michigan, he could not imagine leaving all the friends he has made here in Laramie – and the sunny skies of Wyoming don’t hurt either!
You may recognize Chris’ friendly face from his long tenure at Altitude Chophouse and Brewery, where he was a bartender, manager, and the long time President of the Altitude Mug Club. Following his employment at Altitude, Chris shifted gears in 2020, joining the wonderful and supportive team at Smooth Movers as the Operations Manager. Chris is very proud of his achievements at Smooth Movers, obtaining an unprecedented level of success as one of the premier moving companies in the region.
Chris is the proud husband to Kayla and father to Stevie. He lives in Laramie with his family and their two loving pit bulls, Babar and KK. Chris is a huge fan of all the sports teams that call Detroit home, as well as the Wyoming Cowboys and Laramie Plainsmen. Prior to a serious leg injury a few years ago, Chris was considered by many to be the 3rd or 4th best dancer in town. While he no longer dances competitively, he still loves to cut a rug when the mood is right! Chris is eager to begin this new chapter, serving the community that he calls home and cherishes deeply.
