In 2002, Ennis joined Nashville non-profit Foundations Associates and proceeded to build several web products for the organization including a data management application, Housing Within Reach - A state funded website helping individuals with mental illnesses find housing, and SoberCircle. Ennis helped found SoberCircle in October 2006. The project opened the door for Ennis to use his extensive user experience background with the exciting new medium of online social networking. Ennis is often referred to as “The Tom of SoberCircle”, due to his status as the customer service face of the website.

Chris with son Reed and wife Jessica

Personal

I was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and raised in nearby Woodbury. For most of my adolescent life, I spent his time occupied with various sports. Baseball and softball were central to everything I did from age 3-20. In 2005, I relocated to Murfreesboro, where he attended Middle Tennessee State University.  It was at MTSU where my ability to create web sites became more refined.  After starting off as a mass communications major, it was soon apparent that computer science was my natural calling.

I continued to live in Murfreesboro until 2005.  It was then that I married my wonderful wife Jessica.  Jessica and I have been fortunate to do a lot of things in just a few years together.  We were fortunate enough to have travel throughout most of Europe, a lot of America and in October on 2008 we received the greatest gift yet, our son Reed.

It was there that he was able to mold his raw web design abilities into a much more refined talent. Chris remained in the Murfreesboro area until 2005. Chris married his wife Jessica in 2005 and moved to Nashville, where the couple resides today. Chris and Jessica share a love for travel. In their few short years together, they have managed to travel most of Europe and a good bit of the U.S.  Jessica gave birth to the couple’s first son, Reed, in October of 2008.  The couple still live near Hillsboro Village and are enjoy their new role as parents.

We still live in Nashville near Hillsboro Village, so if you’re ever in the area you should get in touch with us.
