Chris grew up outside of Montreal and received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from McGill University. He earned his D.V.M from Tufts in 1998. His early years as a vet were spent at a mixed-animal practice in Waldo County, treating cows, horses, sheep, and goats in the mornings and dogs and cats in the afternoons. He joined Sarah at Little River in 2013, when they became co-owners of the practice. He spends his non-veterinary hours gardening, tending his ever-growing orchard, cooking, and being a dedicated soccer/swim dad.
