My name is Chris James and I am the new advisor for the SVRC. I am a veteran of the US Navy where I worked as an Air Traffic controller. I was stationed at NAS Sigonella and with TACRON 21 in Virginia Beach. My goal is to be the ultimate resource for veteran related benefits. I am passionate about my job and continue to make sure veterans needs and concerns are addressed. I am an avid sports fan and spend most of my free time playing basketball.

I have been working for the SVRC since spring 2019 and have really enjoyed my time here. I strive to keep up to date information available and a welcoming atmosphere at the SVRC. I have not served, but have a great respect for those that do. There is great honor in serving. In my free time I enjoy reading and working out. I am very active on campus and can be found studying during my off time at the SVRC.
