I’m Chris Oldham!  A native Texan, a father, and a proud resident of Mansfield. While I have lived in West, Central, and North Texas, I chose Mansfield as my home in 2019, and I am committed to preserving the quality of life that makes our community special.

My view of the world was shaped by an early challenge. When I was a freshman in high school, I lost my father. I watched my mother, a Registered Nurse, work incredibly hard to provide for us on a single income. That experience showed me the resilience of Texas families, but it also showed me how much community matters. The support we received from our neighbors in Fredericksburg made all the difference, and it instilled in me a lifelong drive to support others.

I carried that spirit of service into Angelo State University, where I earned my B.B.A. and served as a Program Director for the United Campus Ministries. Working with students from various denominations taught me that we achieve more when we focus on what unites us rather than what divides us.

I spent my professional career at Verizon, serving 30 years in roles ranging from Purchasing to Systems Management. Whether I was supervising teams, managing budgets, or implementing complex technical systems, my focus was always on efficiency and accountability. I retired in 2024, and now I am ready to apply those decades of business experience to work for you.
