Bio
Darryl Hall, M.A., CDFM-A
Chris's uncommon level of initiative and selfless service ranks him among the absolute best of those retired senior non-commissioned officers with whom I've served with on the battlefield while in uniform. During our military relationship then and also now he blends a rarely found impressive level of creativity for problem-solving, mastery of oral and written communications, and a highly energized and committed work ethic example for chaplain assistants and college students that produces outstanding results. I was privileged to have served with Chris on the battlefield and post-military by whom this self-starter whose collaborative work style and personal outreach served as a catalyst for excellence to any organization. I know of a few who rival his commitment to an organization and willingness to go the extra mile. Any organization would be blessed to have Chris on their team!
Ancica Roosa, Ed.D.
Chris is a highly motivated self-starter. His key strengths made him a valuable asset for the entire CTC Europe operation. In many demanding roles, he demonstrated a high aptitude in acquiring new knowledge, attention to detail, a strong work ethic, reliability, and superior customer service. He has developed a good working relationship with CTC staff and instructors, government representatives, and a broad circle of the local communities’ partners. Chris always has a positive attitude, shows a high degree of professionalism, accepts new tasks as they arise, and is more than willing to help in other areas if needed. Chris was always a positive role model and influencer, leading by example.
