Our Team
Chris Werth
Chris Werth is the co-founder of Pura Vida Homes. With 24 years of experience in the homebuilding industry, Chris has managed and overseen the construction and sales of over 5,000 homes in the Greater Austin metro area.
As a division president for a fortune 500 company and later a top 20 national home builder, Chris sharpened his skills in acquiring land, developing neighborhoods, building successful teams, and overseeing all aspects of the homebuilding business.
A resident of Austin for over 15 years, Chris always dreamed of starting a homebuilding operation focusing on infill projects within the city. Pura Vida Homes is the result of that dream. As such, Pura Vida’s core principles include delivering high quality, sustainable housing for current and future Austin residents.
Chris lives with his wife of 30 years in Austin. Together they have one daughter, of whom they are very proud.
