About Christopher

I've been a volunteer for over 10 years at several different agencies including the Veterans Affairs hospitals and centers and Senior Care Centers. Have worked mostly with adults and seniors, veterans and non-veterans alike. After retiring early from the Federal Aviation Administration, I returned to school to learn how to be a clinical social worker. I have been caregiving for a C5 C6 quadriplegic for over a year. I have also provided therapy session work for my current client and his immediate family both individually and as a group.
