Chris Decker is from St. Louis Park, MN and attended medical school at Touro University California. Growing up, he was always interested in health and wellness. His parents are both pharmacists and his father does acupuncture, and because of them, he became interested in health and well-being from a holistic, evidence-based approach. In college, at the University of Minnesota, he studies biochemistry, but also had the opportunity to study abroad in China to learn Chinese for a year. He then spent some time traveling, coaching high school soccer, and volunteering, before deciding to pursue a career in Osteopathy due to its holistic philosophy and hands on approach.  Outside of medicine, Chris enjoys being active, whether playing soccer, Frisbee, or going on a hike and spending time with his wife and his hedgehog, named Howard.
