Chris has managed the Community Health Facilities Fund (CHFF) since 1995 as it has served the evolving capital and financial needs of community based behavioral health care organizations. With the support of the management team and the Board, Chris has led CHFF through several phases of development, beginning as a loan guarantor in a sophisticated pooled tax-exempt bond transaction, developing a unique structured fund using its own capital, lending its own funds directly to providers, and then capturing decades of experience to offer technical assistance.

Dean is the Director of Operations for the Community Health Facilities Fund.  He is involved in all aspects of CHFF's internal operations including financial analysis, financial modeling, monitoring and reporting the status of outstanding loans, oversight of CHFF operated financing programs and strategic planning. He has worked with CHFF for more than two decades after many years working as an investment banker at some of the nation's leading financial institutions. He has extensive experience in raising capital for not-for-profit healthcare organizations primarily through the issuance of tax-exempt bond financing.  Dean is a graduate of DePauw University and is based in Louisville, Kentucky.
