Bio

Chris has a fresh and effervescent energy that is felt throughout the organization. I once dubbed him my "welcome committee" because he would introduce himself to new hires and ensure they all felt welcome and that he was a resource for them. He is passionate about what he does and has gone to mind-blowing lengths to create a better life for his family through his career and education. He is brilliant and talented. He is a very loyal employee. He is the backbone to the research and studies that come out of the organization. And he's one of the most genuine and fun people you will ever meet.
