Congratulations, ChrisR! I am so happy about this achievement of yours; you truly deserve it, and I’m sure you’ll do a wonderful job.

To community members who don't know me very well, this may assist.

I've been following supercentenarians for about 16 years, originally on the 110 club, but left the S/C world for about 2 years when a couple of the senior figures over there, went off the rails. I've personally met about half a dozen of those involved in the global validation processes, over the last 2-3 years.

My background has typically been in the business world and to a lesser extent, sports teams. My role in the supercentenarian world has typically been funding assistance for some of the entities that contribute to the validation processes and work closely with LQ. I also work with Ben on some aspects of the LQ business and strategy, as business evolvement doesn't just happen.

I've only been involved in support roles in about 3 or 4 validations, plus the odd debunking, but hope to find more time to assist further in this regard.

I look forward to working with the Global community as needed.  

It is with pleasure and gratitude that, after careful selection, the Admin & Mods team welcomes @chrisr in our midst.

Chris, thank you for all of your past and future contributions to this forum - we are sure you'll make a good fit within our team.
