Christopher was born in Bakersfield, California, and attended his local high school and junior college. At 19, Chris was injured in a car accident and needed physical therapy to make a full recovery. Christopher's experience in therapy sparked his interest in the field as he wanted to help others learn the necessary skills for rehabilitation so they too could return to the activities they enjoyed pre-injury.
After obtaining his license in 1996, Chris spent 16 years working in an outpatient facility. Today, Chris has been with Southern California Orthopedic Institute for seven years.
Chris is an avid outdoor enthusiast and lives by the mantra “dirt under my feet makes my heart beat.” When Christopher isn’t outside competing in obstacle courses, running ultra-marathons, or completing adventure races, he likes to spend time with his two wonderful daughters.
Chris is available to see patients at the Center for Rehabilitation Medicine – Bakersfield office.
