He also served in the New York Army National Guard from 1970-1975, in field artillery.

Linda and Chris have been married 48 years; they lived 20 years in southern New Hampshire where they raised their two children – Dr. Melanie Fillios, an archeologist in Australia, and Eugene, a film editor in Portland. They have two grandchildren.  Linda is an independent residential appraiser, and REALTOR.

Linda and Chris moved to Coeur d’Alene in 2000.  Chris joined the Credit Services Bureau in Spokane as their corporate sales manager until mid-2004.  Since 2007 and until assuming his current elected position, he was a REALTOR, and residential appraiser.  He taught the Valuation and Analysis class for aspiring broker licensees for several years before his election as County Commissioner.  Chris also hold a broker license.
