Chris is more than an accomplished District Attorney.  He is a committed volunteer, coach and educator, an avid outdoorsman, and a dedicated Nevadan.  He is a loving father of a fifteen-year-old son, thirteen-year-old twin daughters, a seven-year-old daughter, and a devoted husband to his wife Nicole, a native Nevadan who also serves as a Deputy District Attorney and former Executive Director of the Washoe County Child Advocacy Center.  Together they strive to build a stronger, safer Nevada.

 

As District Attorney, his leadership has strengthened and energized the DA’s Office.  He has placed public safety, victim services, improved efficiencies, and public outreach as his top priorities within the office resulting in innovative and successful new programs and practices.  Some of these measures afford rehabilitative opportunities for those in the throes of addiction. Others are delivering swift prosecutions and harsher sentences for the worst offenders while protecting vulnerable victims.  All are serving to make Washoe County a safer community.
