Biography:
Christopher Ward has been an Independent Associate with Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. since August 2007. Chris comes from a military background having served in the U.S. Army for eleven years, eight in reconnaissance and three in Human Intelligence Collection. The strong ideals passed on to Chris through his tenure include Hard Work, Diligence, Self-Sacrifice, Team Work, and Integrity, resulting in a strong desire to be a business leader in Monterey. Chris came to Monterey initially to attend the Defense Language Institute for Serbian-Croatian (Jan-Dec, 2003) and then for Russian (Aug ’05-Aug ’06).

Chris provides affordable access for businesses, families, and individuals to top-quality legal access as well as Identity Theft Protection through his Pre-Paid Legal Business.

Being involved with small business development has contributed to Chris’ career growth in multiple ways. For one, Chris believes that personal development has a lot to do with one’s associations. “If you surround yourself with fun, energetic, ambitious, and driven people, than you will more than likely be the same”. Secondly, helping small businesses and individuals has resulted in Chris’ belief that he doesn’t succeed unless everyone around him succeeds. “A rising tide lifts all ships”.

The best career advice Chris ever learned was from Jean Paul Getty, an oil tycoon, and at one time, the world's richest private citizen and a philanthropic giant. Chris was inspired by Getty’s proclamation: “I’d rather have 1% of one hundred men’s efforts than 100% of my own”.

When he’s not working, Chris is a self-proclaimed “events junkie”. He proclaims there are so many things to do on the Monterey Peninsula, that no one can ever get bored. Chris not only loves meeting new people, but also getting involved with a lot of events to some degree or another.
