Chris Helms

Hi, I’m Chris and I’ve lived in Bellevue, Washington, with my wife Kerste for the past 30 years, and have been active with Adventure Unlimited and Discovery Bound activities in some way for most of those years, and I am so glad to be continuing this journey in this way with NLC! Gabriel (2017W), our son, is living in Austin, Texas, and beginning his professional career in IT technologies, and Ashleigh Helms (2019P), our daughter, is a senior at the University of Washington.

I’m so grateful I get to teach Sunday School in addition to other aspects of church membership at Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Bellevue, WA.  I attended Principia Upper School for my junior and senior years, and went on to attend Principia College, where I met Kerste. I began my career in technology and all things internet, and I believe that it and Christian Science have been integral in the unfolding of my career. Most recently, I’ve worked for Microsoft for the past 14 years supporting our customers and their journey to the cloud.

I am honored and thrilled to be a part of this program!
