Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Chris (Kristoff) joined A/TCEMS 2 years ago after graduating from Texas State University with a degree in Psychology. Chris comes from a family of Police Officers and Firefighters and always knew that he wanted to serve his community. Chris was drawn to EMS because of the ability to work outside and be one of the first people on scene. On his days off, Chris is currently in Paramedic school and enjoys being outdoors and around any sort of water, especially floating the river and going to the beach.
