Removing the Blind Spot (continued)

Other events included “Dining in the Dark”, where individuals spent three hours blindfolded for drinks, dinner, and dessert at the restaurant Silo, and an event at Tall Trellis brewery for a “Blindfolded Corn Hole” competition.

Chris’s wife Nicole works full time at Children’s Mercy Hospital and runs the Blind Spot KC organization while Chris assists by managing the finances and accounting.

“I really enjoy being a part of something that is helping bridge the gap between the sighted and visually impaired community, and hope that ultimately it will help create a better world not only for my son, but the many others like him,” Chris said.

Cheers to Mac and the Carr family on the great work they’re doing with Blind Spot KC! 

Small World

Chris found out about P1 from his wife, who works with the P1 plumbers at Children’s Mercy.

”Nicole frequently mentioned how amazing the plumbers at P1 were,” Chris said.

Chris was just ending a contract position with a company in Virginia, and decided to check out jobs at P1. And it paid off when he was hired as the Electrical Service Division Project Manager.

“I have enjoyed my time at P1. The culture is great, and I really appreciate the “intrapreneurial” spirit P1 promotes for its employees” Chris said.

Chris also enjoys cars, playing disc golf, camping and riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers with his family. “Both of my girls are avid horseback riders, and all of our kids love anything involving swimming,” Chris added.

Chris says Mac especially loves anything with a motor and anything that stimu lates his other senses (sound, vibration, smells).

“He has a small dirt bike with training wheels (pictured, page 9) and a 4-wheeler. We often go around the neighborhood and he is very good about listening to direc tions (left/right/faster/slower/stop) while I run next to him”.
