Managing Principal
Back to Leadership

Christopher is Cerami’s Managing Principal, mentoring our growing team of acoustic engineers and pioneering innovative technologies to help clients understand acoustic options before multi-million dollar decisions are made. Whether on land or in the air, he can point to almost any building that makes up the San Francisco and New York City skyline and talk enthusiastically about his contribution.

CAP, as everyone at Cerami calls him, is a specialist in all things relating to vibration, acoustical code and 3D modeling. His depth of experience has made him a much sought-out partner in the built environment – once he is on a team, the team’s success brings them back together.

Christopher holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from California Polytechnic State University and is a licensed Mechanical Engineer (in the state of California). He has a background in IT and tele/data infrastructure and multimedia system design, which we at Cerami often tap into. He is a man of many talents and interests, ice-hockey, scuba diving and audio forensics (where he is an expert). Lately he has been tapping into his prodigious math skills in order to help his daughters (age 5 and 8) do their homework.
