Dr. Chris

Christopher was born and raised in Slayton Minnesota and graduated high school from MCC.
He then attended Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall for pre-med. He was
originally thinking he would become a medical doctor, but after talking with a couple of
chiropractors he fell in love with the philosophy and care that chiropractic provides. He attended
Palmer College of chiropractic in davenport Iowa and graduated 6th in his class. He also
received honors in x ray and clinical excellence. He was a teacher of the Gonstead technique
for one and half years during his schooling.

After school Christopher worked in St. Cloud with Family First Chiropractic, and when he was
asked to stay and become a partner he declined the offer to move back closer to family.
Christopher says " Amy and I prayed that God would place us in an area that we could help and serve, and He lead us straight to Tyler". Christopher's wife Amy helped him take over Dr.
Williamson's practice once he retired in August of 2009.

Amy and Chris have 5 kids and live a life full of faith and adventure. The family loves to do
anything outside from camping to cross country skiing. They also love board games, plays and
movies. The whole family is very involved at skandia evangelical free church, mission work, and
sponsor Bethal orphanage in Haiti.

When Christopher is not working you will find him with his family, working out, hunting , fishing,
coaching baseball/football, coaching the RTR schools strength and conditioning, and leading the
Awana kids program at church.
