Born and raised in Parma, Christopher Lotz is a freshman at John Carroll University, where he is studying clinical and counseling psychology. In his free time, Chris enjoys running and spending quality time with his family and friends. On some Sundays, you might even find him playing the drums in the worship band at LifeChurch Strongsville. Chris has been an invaluable asset to the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce staff. His contributions include assisting with preparations for Rib & Rock 2026, organizing our office space, attending ribbon cuttings for our businesses, and helping our members with phone inquiries. We are grateful for Chris's hard work and commitment.
