Before relocating to BC, Chris and family lived in London, ON while Chris completed his training in Emergency Medicine. Chris works as an emergency physician at VGH and UBCH, while also holding leadership positions in disaster preparedness regionally. Tenth Church has been a foundational support for the Lee family since they arrived in Vancouver.

If Chris is not in the hospital, he can often be found heading towards the mountains seeking adventure and the numinous.
