Ambassador of the Month

chris rodenroth
This month we are recognizing Chris Rodenroth from Rodenroth Motors! Chris has been with us for 3 years, and we love the humor and light-hearted nature he brings to our Ambassador team! Learn more about Chris here:
My name is Chris Rodenroth and I have been an ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce for 3 years. I enjoy working with Tony and the other chamber ambassadors as it provides a great networking environment for new and current businesses/ organizations in the community!
Currently I am the Business Manager at Rodenroth Motors, where I get to interact with the community on a daily basis. I enjoy the fast-paced environment of the auto industry while providing an excellent customer service experience to each customer. I also was the volunteer assistant golf coach at LSSU for the past 3 years.
I moved back to the Sault in 2020 after being a part of the PGA of America for 16+ years. Bethany (wife) and I have three kids who are involved in sports/activities and keep us moving on a daily basis! I obviously enjoy playing golf whenever possible and spending time with the family! The Sault is a fantastic place to raise a family and honored to be a part of the community!
