Welcome to This Old Man’s Life
Hey there. I’m Chris.
My mom’s death from dementia was my first wake-up call. Then, two years later, a heart scare and triple bypass surgery made it impossible to ignore what I needed to rebuild in my own life, from my health, to my home, to the way I want to live from here on out.
