Tinker Frontlines: Meet Chris Ence

Chris Ence is an emergency management specialist with the 72nd Civil Engineering Directorate.

Originally from Santa Clara, Utah, Ence enjoys working on cars and spending time with his family.

The Air Force retiree worked as a fitter/welder for two years after his retirement. He’s worked in the Tinker Emergency Operations Center for just over three months managing EM programs and making sure units submit their EM reports and are in compliance per Air Force Instruction.

He says the best part of working in the EOC is “not getting dirty” after working as a welder.
