About Christopher

Christopher grew up in Tualatin and graduated from Tualatin High School. He went on to receive a B.S. in Public Policy from Western Oregon University, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from the Willamette University College of Law.

Christopher was inspired to a career in disability advocacy by watching his parents struggle through the IEP process while trying to understand and advocate for his younger brother’s rights.

As an attorney, Christopher wants to help families understand and enforce their children’s educational rights. During the rare minute that Christopher is not working, he enjoys swing dancing and reading fantasy and science fiction novels.
