Chris Turner
CEO

Mr. Chris Turner began in the sprinkler industry in the spring of 1997 and by 1998 he was awarded Apprentice of the Year. His self-motivation led him to be promoted to a jobsite foreman within two years. In 2010, he obtained his inspector’s license. Chris was given the opportunity to begin his own division of Georgia Automatic in Macon, GA in 2013. Four years later it was time for Mr. Turner to return home to Valdosta to begin his journey to ownership. Chris, along with Michael Cody, purchased Georgia Automatic Sprinkler in January of 2019.
