Chris has always been, and continues to be, a huge asset for DoDEA, MWR and CYP. He is often the go-to for ideas, support and networking to get our community what they need. In the last quarter, he helped to ensure several events were coordinated and executed well including Harlem Globetrotters, Easter Eggstravaganza, the DoDEA College and Career Fair and Supplemental Staffing for CYP, to name a few. Chris is known as a “Legend” among Missoula Children’s Theatre, and through his efforts, helped to secure a spot for Missoula at Sigonella this summer. He is also an advocate for additional support for our community and has pushed to help get an adult Military Family Life Consultant (MFLC) for Sigonella. Chris can always be counted on to get the job done well and right the first time, identifying issues before they arise. Thank you, Chris, for everything you do for the Sigonella
