CHRIS KURAN

President/CEO

Born a native Californian, Chris grew up in Orange County in an entrepreneurial family. After graduating from the United States Naval Academy and serving his country as a Marine officer, Chris started his first plumbing parts company. Progressing from that start-up, Chris went on to direct the operations of a multi-national manufacturing conglomerate. Throughout this period, he always longed to return to his entrepreneurial roots.

His engineering and design background, coupled with his military leadership training and large and small company management experience has prepared him to start, run and lead Waterstone as it continues to grow into an industry leader and symbol of American innovation and design.

Chris, Darcy and their four children live in the Fallbrook, California area and hope and pray that their strong family values keep Waterstone a true “family” business.

Leadership Team

Behind every Waterstone product is a team of skilled professionals dedicated to craftsmanship, innovation, and precision. Our team brings together expertise in design, engineering, and manufacturing to create products that define quality and performance.
