His 19 years at Spruce Grove Composite High School included 5 years as the English Department Head before starting his administrative career in 2010 as a Grade Coordinator. Chris spent the better part of six years as an Assistant Principal split between Spruce Grove Composite High School and Memorial Composite High School in Stony Plain. He has been the Principal at Woodhaven Middle School since 2019 which included an active role as a liaison between PSD and building contractor Stuart Olson for the modernization and expansion of the school. Chris earned a Master’s degree from the Department of Educational Policy Studies in Educational Administration and Leadership from the University of Alberta in 2014.

"Working with Woodhaven staff, students, parents, and guardians to build a school has been one of the highlights of my professional career. I will look back at the relationships I have made with the amazing staff with nothing but respect for their professionalism and commitment to constant growth and improvement. I am very much looking forward to bringing all I have learned during my time at Woodhaven to work and grow with an already excellent group of educators at Prescott Learning Centre."
