Who we are

At CHRIS, we are dedicated to making cultural heritage accessible and meaningful for all communities. As an independent consulting firm led by an archaeologist with a passion for preserving local histories, we specialize in providing cultural heritage impact assessments and regulatory consulting tailored to developers, non-profits, and local governments. Our services are designed to ensure compliance with environmental and preservation laws while honoring the stories that shape each community.

With a commitment to inclusivity and a community-centered approach, we prioritize working closely with local stakeholders to ensure that every project respects both its historical significance and the needs of the people it affects. We aim to build long-lasting relationships with our clients, understanding that each project is an opportunity to educate, empower, and preserve cultural legacies.

Our founder brings a diverse perspective to the field of archaeology, combining a strong background in archaeological research, project management, and regulatory compliance. By blending technical expertise with a focus on community engagement, we deliver assessments that are both thorough and reflective of the unique history of each site.

At CHRIS, we don’t just conduct assessments—we engage with the communities we serve. Through workshops, presentations, and collaborative efforts, we foster connections that create a more inclusive approach to preserving cultural resources. We believe that public engagement is essential to making informed, sustainable decisions that benefit both development and cultural preservation.

Whether you’re planning a construction project, working on public policy, or looking to engage your community in its heritage, CHRIS is here to help. Let us guide you in creating a positive, lasting impact on both the built environment and the cultural landscape.
