A Little About Chris…

Best at: Being flexible and going with the flow. Having an optimistic view of any situation is key. 

Worst at: Practicing my instruments. I love music and love to learn. I grew up in the church and was always around music. Now, I can hear a song and teach myself to play it. I just need to make time to practice. 

Passionate about: Exploring different creative outlets. I enjoy photography, woodworking, music, and video editing. My degree is in art history, and I look for little ways to put that into practice even though my career path led me in a different direction. 

What’s your “why”?: It's an element of hope. Hope is my foundation. It's something I hold onto. Whether I’m holding onto hope for something in the present or future, my hope is rooted in my faith. There are alot of things that can make people hopeless. I want to help people understand the obstacles that stand before them, build skills to move past them, and press towards hope. 

Favorite Hallmark: Honor the dignity and sacredness of each person.
