Christopher Berry is a true local, born at Alpena General Hospital in 1983 and raised in the rural community of Herron, Michigan. From an early age, his parents instilled a strong work ethic — if you wanted something, you worked for it. And along the way, Christopher learned that work can actually be fun.
His first taste of business came early, baling hay with his cousin Josh on his grandmother’s alfalfa field. With some equipment, a lot of help from their dads, and plenty of effort, they got the job done and sold the hay — a lesson in teamwork and hard work that stuck.
One of Christopher’s favorite jobs was running a 1974 Steiger Bearcat II with a V8 Caterpillar engine — "We would run it wide open and it would just sing!"
After graduating from Alpena High School in 2001, Christopher was hired by Dave Bauer at Alpena Glass & Door, where his career with glass truly began. While taking night classes at Alpena Community College to study electrical work, he discovered a fascination with how things work — a curiosity that still shows up today through projects like building a custom guitar amplifier and learning bass guitar.
Though he never pursued electrical work professionally, Christopher found glass uniquely challenging — strong yet fragile if handled the wrong way — and that challenge is what kept him hooked.
2025 was a milestone year. Christopher married the love of his life, Jessica Campbell, on September 12. Just two months later, Alpena Glass entered a new chapter. He’s excited to continue working alongside Phil and Pam, and to see Joe LeFave doing a great job stepping into Dave’s former role.
Christopher is proud of where he’s been, excited about what’s ahead, and we’re proud to have him as part of the Alpena Glass & Door team.
