Chris has a amazing sense of compassion and heart for people, and he is tireless in his efforts to care for and assist others. While we worked together, he was always looking for ways to work with other teams and share in the work that we did.

Joe Mackey

Chris is very committed, caring, focused and organized person who I value very highly for his character and personal integrity. I would comfortably recommend Chris to anyone that would need his services.
