After 18 years in EMS, he transitioned to a leadership role at Poudre Valley Hospital Ambulance Service, where his contributions helped the hospital earn the prestigious Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. He later served on the National Board of Examiners for the award, evaluating organizations nationwide.

In addition to his expertise in pain management, Chris spent a decade focusing on spine surgery, regenerative medicine, and osteoporosis management. He remains deeply involved in clinical education, teaching at national pain medicine conferences and contributing as a legal expert reviewer. Known for his dedication to lifelong learning, Chris continually advances his clinical knowledge to improve patient outcomes and support the next generation of practitioners. Outside of medicine, Chris is passionate about music, with a personal collection of over 4,000 CDs and a love for surround-sound listening experiences.
