Book Chris
I bring practical insight, grounded storytelling, and real-world experience to every stage. My work spans youth-led organizing, community development, and municipal governance—rooted in lived experience and focused on results.
Whether speaking to students, nonprofit leaders, public officials, or national audiences, I help people think more clearly about how power is built, how institutions change, and what it takes to move from vision to implementation.

Governing through crisis and rebuilding trust in institutions
Civic engagement, democracy, and systems change
Translating grassroots energy into durable public impact
My talks are practical and grounded. I draw on real-life examples from community organizing, nonprofit leadership, and municipal governance.
