For almost one hundred years, HGI has been an established  industry leader, serving a broad array of public and private sector clients including state and local government. In 1999, Mr. Oney became the majority owner, President, and CEO of Hammerman & Gainer, LLC and in 2005 formed HGI Global, Inc. (formerly known as Hammerman & Gainer International, Inc.)

Chris strategically repositioned HGI into providing a broader array of services covering diverse industries.

While Chris assumed the executive operational responsibility of the organization, he simultaneously earned a Ph.D. in Divinity.
