Christopher Riggins
Founder/Owner
Christopher Riggins is the President of Riggins Painting, established in 2009 in the Memphis Metro area. His first job out of high school was working with a local painting company learning the “ins” and “outs” of the industry. Christopher quickly excelled in the art of painting, furthering his career with the company, being promoted to foreman, project manager, and estimator for the company.
During the 2009 recession, the current business owner decided to close the doors. Christopher saw an opportunity to continue serving his customers and Riggins Painting was formed. His experience working the entire business as a painter, foreman, project manager, and estimator, makes Christopher uniquely qualified to ensure a quality experience from start to finish.
Christopher married his high school sweetheart Renee in 2004 and has five beautiful daughters, Ethny, Sabrina, Kaitlyn, Viviane, and Aubrey. He enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, playing volleyball, and softball.
Christopher’s burning desire is to create an atmosphere and culture within his company to bring glory to King Jesus, working diligently as unto God. He hopes that everyone who comes in contact with him or his company is encouraged to follow our one true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amber Brawley
Sales Representative
Here are some key factors that make me who I am:
- I am originally from Mississippi, so I am a country girl at heart, but I am no stranger to the Memphis area, where I have lived for most of my adult life.
- I have two of the most amazing kiddos in the whole world, Addison and Nathan, and I thank God everyday for letting me borrow them while we enjoy our time here on Earth.
- Our crazy coop consists of my two kiddos, my wonderful mom, and three wild rescue pups. There’s never a dull moment!
- I have been in the construction industry for many years, and I always love a new project, especially when it involves something as simple as brightening up a space with a new splash of color.
- I look forward to navigating through your next painting project with you.

Sales Representative
Here are a few things about me:
I grew up in Memphis before my family moved to the family "farm" in NorthWest TN when I was a teenager. We didn't actually farm but I do have 4 brothers and 2 sisters so my siblings were the only livestock my parents raised.
My wife Brandi and I met while in college and were wed 19 years ago. Our three girls Amelia, Maggie, and Lilly are each unique and have all been evidence to us that God is both loving and has a great sense of humor. My career in the painting industry began as a part time job over two decades ago and has been my only profession since.
Riggins Painting has set a high standard for client experience and I am proud to be a part of this incredible team. I look forward to learning more about your project!
