Chris Dwyer was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. His childhood home, built in 1909, was almost always undergoing an extensive restoration, modification, or upgrade. The constant change of the space in which he lived—and played with Legos—led to his interest in architecture, which ultimately inspired him to study at the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas.
After graduating in 2007, Chris moved to Aspen, CO. He joined Poss as an Architectural Draftsperson and was employed there for over eight years. Before moving back to his hometown, Chris decided to take a break and feed his travel bug by exploring Southeast Asia.
Upon his return to Boise, he took a position with a large multistate architecture and engineering firm that specialized in multifamily, commercial, retail, and master planning projects. It was there that he also became involved in the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
In 2022, Chris returned to Poss as a Senior Associate and to open and manage the new Boise office of Poss. He looks forward to helping expand the Poss footprint into the Northwest and to developing new project locations for the firm.
Chris is a board member of the Idaho Chapter of ULI. He is also a founder of the Placemaking and Design Product Council within the Idaho Chapter and a member of the Idaho chapters of AIA, NCARB, and the International Code Council.
When not at work, Chris enjoys spending time with his family—whether in Boise or at the family cabin in McCall. Chris also loves traveling, as well as skiing, curling, bike riding, and playing hockey.
