Hello Greater Cincinnati neighbors! I’m Chris Samples, owner of The Glass Guru of South Cincinnati since August 2020.  

I grew up in the east side of the Cincinnati area and received my associate’s degree from The University of Cincinnati in Business Administration. I then went on to get my bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Northern Kentucky University.  

Prior to The Glass Guru, I gained valuable experience in sales as a representative for a local Freightliner dealership. I then went on to follow my passion for high-performance cars working in a sales/customer service role at a local speed shop. Later on, I became an  Account Executive in the freight brokering business. This was a great job, but I always wanted to be a business owner. I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy helping people and wanted to own my own business.  What attracted me to The Glass Guru was the corporate team that cares about its franchisees and customers. I am extremely proud of opening and being successful during the pandemic.  What I like most about this business is the chance to help our neighbors with their homes. 

When I have spare time, I enjoy working on my cars, my house, playing and fixing pinball machines, or if I’m not working on something and the weather is nice, I like to cruise the backroads in my classic 1969 Mercury Cougar convertible.

I hope to get to meet you and help you with repairs at your home or business! It’s a great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve you and we hope to be the local glass shop you can trust and rely on for many years to come.
