Proud Tradition of Public Service

Chris has been a public servant his entire life, first as a teacher, then as a state Supreme Court clerk, and then as a prosecutor.  Today, he serves his community by holding employers accountable when they abuse their employees' rights, steal their wages, or retaliate against them for blowing the whistle on fraud or other unlawful conduct.

Not Afraid of a Challenge

In 2008, while teaching high school and coaching five varsity level teams, Chris bought the decaying home of Jacksonville's founding father and transformed it into a successful bed and breakfast.  In 2013, he left teaching to attend law school, finishing 2nd in his class. During law school, he won several awards in moot court and negotiations, placing 2nd at the national ABA Negotiation Tournament and 3rd at the National Moot Court Championship Tournament - the highest his law school has ever placed in either event.
