College in New Hampshire specializing in the

took two years off, working in the private
sector side of archaeology called Cultural
Resource Management (CRM). During this time
Chris worked on archaeological investigations
throughout the Mid-Atlantic States.
Since joining Palm Beach County, Chris is the
