Chris Page joined Homewaters Project in September 2005 to continue and expand upon his fifteen years of environmental work in the nonprofit and consulting sectors of the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised in Seattle, he knows the importance of place and has dedicated much of his life to educating people about and protecting the natural wonders in and around the Emerald City, including work in the formative years of People for Puget Sound and the Green-Duwamish Watershed Alliance. Outside the working world, Chris is winding down a storied ultimate frisbee career (including a World Championship) and spending his newfound free time with his lovely wife Katie and faithful mutt Hazel, playing soccer, mountain biking, snowboarding, disc golfing, cooking, reading and relaxing.
