Chris is a midwesterner, who grew up in Iowa, and lived in Michigan for most of her adult life. She worked in the field of education for 20 years, serving as district media director, high school principal and district superintendent. During that time she also served in her home churches as pianist and eventually music director. She and her husband Keith began attending Forest Park in 2021, shortly after "retiring" to Florida. They love spending time with their children and grandchildren: Son Bryan and Deanna, with sons Conor and Killian who live in Ohio; daughter Katy and Vikas with son August who live in Panama City; and daughter Kellyn who lives in New York City. Chris is passionate about music, and enjoys being a part of the Forest Park family, glorifying God through praise and worship.
