Chris Abel

Chris graduated from the University of South Carolina with a double major in Marketing and Management. It was during college that Chris began his 13-year career in the janitorial industry. He quickly moved from cleaning buildings after class to the Chief Operating Officer of a $10M commercial cleaning company in Columbia, South Carolina. During this time, Chris was able to sell approximately $15M worth of annual janitorial contracts and lead his company to CIMS certification, an official endorsement from the International Facility Management Association. While conducting business in Jackson, Mississippi, Chris teamed up with Brandon Schneider in an attempt to expand their current market share. Soon after, Chris and Brandon wanted full control of their “New Generation in Clean” vision. SEJ Services was then founded with the goal of becoming the best-positioned, most-trusted choice for janitorial services throughout the Southeastern United States. Still an avid fan of his alma mater Gamecocks, Chris now resides in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina with his wife, two boys, father-in-law, and two dogs. In his downtime, Chris enjoys getting out on the boat and relaxing by the beach.
