I grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and moved to Michigan in 1988 to attend Davenport University’s Paramedic school. I reside in Kent City, Michigan, with my wife of 30 years. We have a son in college and an adult daughter who graduated college and lives out of town. I am a retired firefighter/paramedic who works full-time in information systems for a major West Michigan company. In my off time, I enjoy traveling to unique places, family time and my two dogs, who keep life fun. * * * To learn more about Christopher Coates, visit his author page on Next Chapter"s website.
