2007 Printing Industry Hall of Fame — Master of the Deal - Chris Colville

“He’s of the highest integrity and never once mislead me in our dealings,” DeWese adds. “Chris is going to wind up as the CEO of some major corporation in Houston or on the Senior (PGA) Tour.”

Gone, But Not for Long

Colville left CGX for an 18-month span between September 2000 and March 2002, taking his M&A proficiency to Murphy Noell Capital. CGX had been dormant during the economic downturn of the period, and Colville wanted to try something different. But when Joe Davis called him in 2002, Colville pounced on the opportunity to return and get back into the M&A game.
