Mr. Chris Krieger, Senior Director of Technology

Mr. Chris Krieger serves as the Senior Director of Technology at The First Academy, where he is grateful for the opportunity to lead the Technology Department into 2026 and beyond.

Mr. Krieger grew up in Sayreville, New Jersey, and attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Edison, New Jersey, graduating in 2015. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in National Security Studies, with a focus in Information Assurance and Cybersecurity, graduating in 2019. His education and passion for technology and cybersecurity ultimately led him to a career focused on using technology to support students, faculty, and staff.

After college, Mr. Krieger met his now-wife, Amanda, whom he considers the greatest blessing in his life. Amanda ultimately brought him to The First Academy community, and he is incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve TFA and lead its Technology Department. He considers it a privilege to use his background and experience to help advance TFA’s mission while ensuring technology supports academic excellence across the school.

Although Florida has become home, Mr. Krieger remains deeply connected to his family in Sayreville, New Jersey, and greatly misses having them nearby. As an only child, he grew up especially close with his extended family. Being the youngest boy among his cousins meant he was rarely treated like an only child, and those relationships helped shape his strong appreciation for family, loyalty, and the importance of staying connected.

Mr. Krieger believes technology should ultimately be about people, not devices. He is blessed to serve alongside the faculty and staff of The First Academy and looks forward to continuing to build a Technology Department that supports students, teachers, families, and TFA’s Christ-centered mission for years to come.
