Chris Harristhal has served as an Advisory Board member, volunteer, and alongside his wife, Colleen, a Wishes & More Ambassador prior to joining the Board of Directors. He is extremely moved by the mission of Wishes & More and states, “The plight of children with life threatening diseases and the family members who support them has long struck a chord with me.” As a board member, his engagement in the oversight of the organization will give him the opportunity to help Wishes & More do “more” for the families we serve.
Chris calls himself a “recovering lawyer” and he officially retired from Larkin Hoffman as a trial attorney in 2019. After 32 years practicing law, he decided to immerse himself in a long-time passion – magic! He is now known as Kristoff the Magician and he travels world-wide performing close-up and stage magic. He’s even been known to make a special appearance at the Wishes & More Winter Ball entertaining guests with his cocktail magic during social hour.
A native of Ely, Chris enjoys bow hunting and spending time fishing and canoeing in the BWCA. He and his wife have six sons and two dogs.
