Christopher is an entrepreneur with over twenty years of experience, particularly in nurturing early-stage startups, driven by a blend of academic prowess and a personal mission for accessibility due to his early diagnosis of a vision issue that left him legally blind. This challenge spurred him to become an advocate for accessible technology, aiming to make digital spaces inclusive. He is on the verge of completing his Doctorate in Education in Organizational Change and Leadership, focusing his research on startups, innovation ecosystems, and leveraging psychology and neuroscience for societal impact. Christopher's commitment extends beyond the theoretical, deeply rooted in his personal journey and underscored by his dedication to mindfulness and meditation since 2015. His story and expertise are especially relevant as Colorado's special districts strive to enhance web accessibility, making him a key figure in the movement towards a more accessible and inclusive community.
