ABOUT CHRISTOPHER MISSICK
Graduating high school, I moved to Sacramento, CA where I attended
California State University Sacramento and became active in the
university and the community with social, political and service organizations.
I took some time off in college to join the US Army Reserves. I wanted to
serve our country, and having the opportunity to wear the uniform instilled
immense pride in me. I left Sacramento for Basic Training in May, 2001, just
a few months before the event that would come to change our country and
our military.
After Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training to serve as a radio relay
operator, I returned to Sacramento to complete college. Five months after graduating CSU Sacramento with a degree in Government, my Reserve unit, the 319th Signal Battalion, was deployed to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. While deployed, I was noted as one of the early milbloggers, blogging from my small camp on the Iraq-Kuwait border, and featured in countless print and broadcast media.
In June 2009, my beautiful wife moved from Toulouse, France, to join me in California. We were married at the Santa Ana, CA Courthouse on June 25, and celebrated a formal ceremony with friends and family on October 10. I currently practice law in Newport Beach, CA, where I am an Associate with Frankel & Tennant Professional Corporation.
