A Community Advocate Committed to Combating Substance Abuse in Southeastern Colorado A Career in Public Health and Compliance With extensive experience ensuring statewide regulation and compliance, Chris has worked as a certified water and wastewater professional, where he protected public health. His strong communication skills and ability to connect with others have been central to his success. Effective communication, he believes, is key to solving any problem. Tackling Substance Abuse in the Community Substance abuse has been a significant concern for Chris, having witnessed its effects on both family and friends from an early age. Seeing the destructive impact it has on his community, Chris felt compelled to act. He has made it his mission to contribute meaningfully to the fight against what he sees as the largest domestic threat in the United States today: substance abuse. Deep Community Roots Chris’s commitment to Southeastern Colorado runs deep. He and his wife Renee made the deliberate choice to stay in the region to raise their family, passing on the pride of living in this community to their children. Now, all three of their daughters continue to reside in the area, contributing to the same community values. Personal Life and Passions In his personal time, Chris finds joy in motorcycling, often referring to it as “the magic of wind therapy.” He also enjoys music, woodworking, and engaging with “nerd culture.” Above all, family is at the core of his life. A New Challenge: Fighting Substance Abuse Excited for the next chapter, Chris is eager to collaborate with others to combat substance abuse and eliminate the stigma surrounding it. He looks forward to working as a team to make a lasting impact on his community.
