Chris brings a wealth of knowledge in motivating clients and loved ones to engage in treatment. He provides education to medical and clinical professionals on methodologies to treat the growing population of young adults suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. He is a trained interventionist who uses opportunities during the assessment process to utilize family systems interventions and create boundaries to assist in the successful completion of treatment.

Chris has traveled the country touring treatment facilities and has a wide network of treatment support services. Chris believes that everyone who calls our intake line deserves to be heard and given resources for change regardless of their diagnosis or financial status.

In his free time, Chris is an avid surfer and fly fisher. He believes strongly in using the power of nature to aid the healing and recovery process. He can often be found at the beaches close to The Last House riding the waves. He has developed our surf program and personally instructs our residents in learning to surf. He often draws parallels between riding the ocean waves and the waves of life and emotions in recovery.
