About the Provider

Chris has been a provider with Wall Residences since 2008 and brings extensive experience supporting individuals with behavioral and medical needs. He enjoys spending time with his family, sightseeing in the Blue Ridge Mountains, fishing, relaxing by the river, picnicking outdoors, and sharing laughter, music, and meaningful time with loved ones. Over his experience at Wall, he has supported up to two individuals in his home. He lives part-time with his high school–aged daughter, and a dog and cat also reside in the home.

I like being a provider because I enjoy helping people and being a caregiver. I love helping others overcome obstacles in their life. I learn as much from the people I take care of hopefully as much as they learn from me. This job is not a job it is a new perspective and meaning on life. This is not a job but rather a gift that I was meant to do.
