A scout leader, sports coach, and community supporter – he’s the guy knocking on his neighbor’s doors with an extra generator when the power is out, or following his snow shovel up and down the entire block before most people are even awake. Chris has a deep commitment to his family and friends.

Chris graduated high school in the Tri-Cities (go Falcons!) and went on to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Seattle University and his Juris Doctor from Gonzaga Law. He’s is a member of the Washington State Bar Association, Washington Association for Justice, and works with the Housing Justice project providing free representation to tenants in disputes with their landlords. As an attorney, Chris doesn’t hear the word “no” as a problem, but rather as a challenge, and he doesn’t run away from the tough cases. In fact (at times to his partner’s chagrin) Chris often seeks them out, especially if the cause is just.
