Chris Weber serves as the Operations Manager of Trinity’s Kansas City, Kansas office. After graduating from Vanderbilt University in 2000, Chris began his career in environmental consulting in Texas supporting the electric utility, petroleum refining, and chemical manufacturing industries. He joined the environmental team at HOVENSA, once the largest refinery in the Western Hemisphere, in 2011, then returned to consulting while based out of Washington state and Colorado.

Immediately prior to joining Trinity in 2024, Chris was the corporate Air Quality Lead for Seminole Electric Cooperative, a G&T utility serving 2 million customers in Florida with a generation mix of coal-fired boilers, combined and simple cycle combustion turbines, and solar. At Seminole, he contributed to NERC compliance programs, managed complex air permitting for a new combined cycle facility, and led efforts to address challenges from the MATS Rule, Clean Power Plan, and ACE Rule.

Chris has obtained a diverse set of experiences, both within industry and as a consultant, and provides expertise in multiple states with significant differences in regulatory approaches and environmental challenges. As a past chair of the Florida Electric Power Coordinating Group and through participation in other trade groups such as AFPM and NRECA, Chris has helped industries navigate through the lifecycle of rule development, gap analysis, and implementation of new compliance programs and strategies. As environmental regulations continue to evolve, Chris is poised to utilize his experience to help clients in Kansas and the East maintain compliance and meet their business objectives.
