Chris graduated from the University of Florida in 1997 with a Master’s in Special Education. He taught high school special education for 4 years. During the same time he helped establish a non-profit Americorps program that taught GED courses and auto repair to high school drop-outs. The cars that were repaired were given away to individuals coming off of public assistance (350 in 4 years). Chris completed his ABA course work under Dr. Martinez-Diaz and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2001. He served as a behavior analyst for the Alachua County School District for 1 ½ years before moving to Kentucky to work at Oakwood ICF/MR under Department of Justice Review. Since leaving the facility in January 2006, he has provided community based services throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky as well as serving as a behavior analyst/consultant for the Columbus Organization. He started, Applied Behavioral Advancements, LLC in March 2007. ABA, LLC currently serves over 1300 clients through the following funding sources: SCL waiver, MPW waiver, ABI waiver, Medicaid MCOs, private insurance, and numerous school contracts throughout the state of Kentucky. In 2020, ABA, LLC extended its services in the state of Georgia. Chris is a former Board Member of the Kentucky Association of Private Providers, Kentucky Association for Behavior Analysis, and founder of ABA Advocates. Chris was appointed by two different governors to the Governor’s Commission on Services and Supports for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Chris’ experience includes working with individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities, autism, and/or psychiatric disorders. He prefers to work with individuals who engage in high magnitude/frequency physical aggression or self-injury.
