Chris's Story
Life
I live on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands where I have been since graduating from college. Post-MacArthur I earned a bachelors degree in social work from Texas and later a masters degree in public administration from Harvard. I have been married for almost 40 years and have 2 children, a son who is now a lawyer in Atlanta, and a daughter who is an art therapist and counselor in Philadelphia and studying to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner . Ellie, my wife, specializes in early childhood services.. We have 3 young grandchildren. We work from home, part time now, in a small consulting business we own. We are both spending a lot of time volunteering on boards of directors. A lot of my time is spent as Chair of the board of directors for the USVI hospitals. After hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, I ran a volunteer rebuilding program, mostly replacing roofs for low income elderly s...Expand for more
torm victims. The pandemic ended that program. From 2007 to 2015 I was Commissioner of the Virgin Islands Department of Human Services. My Department included all of the local government's child abuse and neglect, juvenile justice, financial aid, Medicaid, disability, child care, head start and senior citizen programs. To take that job, I left a non profit organization where I worked for 23 years, the last 15 as Executive Director. I have also become one of the territory's most in-demand Santa Claus' mostly working community events. I have been very fortunate and blessed in life. When I moved to the Virgin islands over 40 years ago I had no idea that I would remain so long much less get married and raise a family there. I get to San Antonio only rarely and would love to connect with all the people I've lost touch with. If you knew me in high school and visit the Virgin Islands please look me up.
