About Chris
Chris is originally from Atlanta, Georgia. He attended Auburn University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance. Shortly after graduating, he entered the medical field as a sales representative in orthopedics, beginning his career with DePuy Johnson & Johnson in Manhattan, New York City. He later transitioned to Biomet Orthopedics, working in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
​
During his time in South Carolina, Chris decided to further his education and pursue a career as a physician assistant. He studied biochemistry at Coastal Carolina University before attending the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where he earned a Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies.
​
Following graduation, Chris spent eight years in cardiac surgery—first in Athens, Georgia, and later at Augusta University Medical Center in Augusta, GA. Eventually, he returned to his passion for orthopedics, joining the Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery team alongside Dr. Max Seiter.
​
Dedicated to providing exceptional patient care, Chris is grateful to be living his dream as a physician assistant in Summit and Eagle Counties, Colorado. Outside of work, he enjoys snow skiing, fly fishing, kayaking, boating, biking, attending sporting events, and experiencing live music.
