About Chris

Home town? Sioux Falls, SD

Favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Hobbies? Adventures with my family, trail-running, the Denver Nuggets, the Arsenal Football Club, music, and fostering dogs

College major(s)? BA in Mass Communication/Public Relations; MA in Communication Studies

Quote about college? "60% of what you'll learn will come outside of the classroom - and it will all be about yourself." - David Lorenz

Favorite thing about UCCS? Most days, around the lunch-time, you can find a game of pick-up basketball happening with students, staff, administrators and faculty at the Campus Recreation Center. I believe it says a lot about how tangible the staff, faculty and leadership really are at UCCS.

Favorite Place in Colorado Springs? Section 16/Cheyenne Canon - it's a great trail with many connection options to really get a good "mountain run".

If you could have lunch with anyone (past or present), who would it be? My daughter and she'd probably want ramen.

Fun fact about you? I co-teach a GPS/Freshman Seminar class...and of course we play whiffleball.
