Hello, My name is Chris Suppes. I am currently a math teacher and the Head Cross Country coach as well as assistant Track coach at Fort Collins High School. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a few things about myself so that you can get to know me a better.

Career:
Believe it or not, I went to Timnath Elementary, Boltz Junior High and I am a 1986 graduate from Fort Collins High School. I graduated from Colorado State University in 1991 where I majored in Mathematics. I started my teaching career at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, Colorado. During my eight years of service at Thompson Valley I was a math teacher, Cross Country coach, track coach, and girl's basketball coach. I became a member of the Lambkin faculty in 2000.

I was also a wild land firefighter for the Forest Service. I began fighting fires for the Pike Hotshots from 1987-1991. From 1993-1998 I was a Smoke jumper and I was stationed at the McCall Jump Base in McCall Idaho. During this time I met many wonderful people including my wife, Tamara.

Interests:
I am very interested in running and coaching. This year (2005) we won the Colorado State 5A Title in Boy's Cross Country. I give all the credit to a very dedicated team and wonderful coaching staff.

State Champions!!!

I am also very interested in hunting and fishing. I usually go back to Kansas every year to see my relatives and hunt for pheasant. I also like to go to Idaho every winter and go fishing with my father-in-law, Kevin Grove, (the greatest fisherman ever known.)

During our fishing adventures we have caught steelhead and lake trout in Idaho, and salmon and halibut in Alaska.

My family:
I have been happily married now to my wonderful, outstanding, totally gorgeous, one-in-a-million, wife Tamara since 1994.

 

We have two great daughters named Allie and Cassie. Allie likes to sing, dance, and act. Cassie is very interested in animals. She seems to know more than I do about a lot of them.

The girls have already experienced many fun filled vacations to California, Arizona, and of course, Idaho. They are avid skiers and can already ski black runs.

My wife, Tamara, is the owner of Yours Truly Gift Baskets in Fort Collins. She is originally from McCall, Idaho. She also graduated from Colorado State University where she majored in Art Education. She loves to ski and read books for her book club.
