Chris
Chris joined the East Orlando Animal Hospital team in September 2024, bringing a deep passion for animal care rooted in his childhood experiences. Originally from New Hampshire, Chris moved to Orlando in 2012.
Growing up, he had a variety of pets, including dogs like a Chow, Boxer, and LhasaPoo, as well as a bearded dragon and turtles. His love for animals never waned, but it wasn’t until he left a series of unfulfilling jobs, including a position at Amazon, that he rediscovered his true calling—working with animals.
A graduate of CROOMSAOIT, Chris spent some time exploring different paths before deciding to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. His goal is to become a veterinary assistant, and he plans to enroll in a vet assistant program to make that dream a reality. Chris shares his home with his beloved brown dog, Zoey, whose breed remains a mystery, and a Sulcata tortoise named Normand.
Outside of his work with animals, Chris is an avid creator. He runs a YouTube channel and expresses his artistic side through various creative projects.
