Christopher P. Fox

A U.S. Army veteran and single father, Christopher P. Fox was injured while on deployment in Iraq. He lives with a traumatic brain injury and severe post-traumatic stress disorder, both of which make obtaining and retaining employment challenging.

Now living in Webster, he aspires to become an attorney and fight for legislation that adequately protects people. For Christopher, becoming an attorney is not driven by financial security but rather the ability to help those the state has overlooked.

Since earning an associate degree with distinction in criminal justice and an advanced studies certificate from Monroe Community College in December 2022, he has been pursuing a bachelor’s in legal studies at St. John Fisher University. At MCC’s Commencement on May 25, as his 7-year-old son, Jaxon, looks on, Christopher will celebrate his many MCC achievements, including being named to the dean’s list for five semesters.

“I’m grateful for the personal relationships that I was able to build with my professors, especially Adrian Smalls, Peter Francione and Kelly Nagle. Anytime I asked my professors what I couldn’t understand, they worked with me until I understood it,” said Christopher, 36, who worked as an intern in the Monroe County Conflict Defender’s Office while enrolled in MCC. “Being an older student, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to mix well with my peers. I told myself I was going to do the full college experience. MCC brought me out of my shell and helped me find who I am meant to be.”

As a member of the Freemason fraternity, where philanthropy is first and foremost, Chris dedicates his time to making a difference.
