Kris joined Uptown Insurance in 2014 and brings a grounded presence and service-first approach to helping clients. Originally from Salem, he moved to Central Oregon to stay close to the mountain and outdoor lifestyle he loves. Away from the office, you'll find him snowboarding, enjoying a local car-show (sometimes joining the lineup), and staying connected to the Bend community. He and his wife, Laura, also run WildRoots Coffeehouse—now with two locations—where their pack of pups and two very patient cats keep life entertaining.
