RN, EMT-P, WEMT
Description:
Chris has been with WMA™ since 1996. In that time his full time work has included professional ski patrol, whitewater guiding, paramedic, firefighter, and most recently critical care nurse. Presently he is a "travel nurse" and is working in various hospitals throughout the Southwestern US. His rule is this: "any hospital I work at must be within a very short distance to a major mountain range." This allows for an on-going clinical challenge as well as access to the incredible wilderness of the Southwest where he enjoys telemark skiing, mountain biking and back-packing.
One of Chris' favorite past times is Ultimate (Frisbee). He has played competitively for 15 years. He has been known to promote Ultimate at the beginning of a WFR class and then schedule class days around a daily game. One time in the Southwestern US, the students (not Chris) had to call off a game due to torrential rain, thunder and lightning. Consider yourself warned, he can be a bit obsessive, especially when it comes to Ultimate!
