PGF Board Member
Chris has spent the majority of his career working with technology and has used his knowledge and experience to assist nonprofits in the Chattanooga area. He has lived in the Soddy Daisy area for more than 22 years. He and his wife Rachael have three children: Elijah 20, Zeke 16, and Emmie 16. They have fostered and cared for 14 other children over the years and are dedicated to helping to fill in gaps as needed.
Since the birth of the twins and all of the ups/downs associated with their long NICU stay, the Welch’s have dedicated their whole family to serve others. Their family motto is “Service above Self.”
“While I have not served in any branch of the military, I have many family members and close friends that have. If we can help those folks, I’m down. I’ve seen how a seemingly small gesture can change the trajectory of someone’s life when they are in a valley.“
