Chris acts for private individuals and corporate clients, as well as non-profit organizations.

Born and raised in the West end of Toronto, Chris attended the University of Toronto for his undergraduate studies. His primary study areas included Economics, Accounting, and Political Sciences. After his undergrad, Chris travelled abroad to attend Law school at the University of Wales located in the city of Cardiff, just west of London.  Upon return from his International experience, he enrolled at the University of Ottawa law school for supplemental studies prior to being called to the Ontario Bar in 2006.

In his role as Trustee, Chris is responsible for budgetary, administrative, and management oversight of the largest school board in Canada.
