Chris has been an animal lover all his life, something which was greatly influenced by his mother, who was always taking in stray and injured animals. As such, he has had the pleasure of interacting with numerous animals growing up.

​

Chris have two cats of  his own, Mitch and Carl, who are the quintessential odd couple. He began volunteering at the Humane Society of Utah in 2012, and still continues do so. He is a family therapist with Salt Lake County, and feels that interaction with animals can be very therapeutic and healing.
