Chris Hinsperger - Associate

Chris brings to the Delfi group a mixed bag of skills and experiences. For the past 15 years, Chris and his wife Val have owned and operated a successful outdoor tourist attraction, the Bonnechere Caves, in the Ottawa valley. Chris is very passionate about helping youth and this is reinforced by the fact that he has worked with troubled youth as a Youth Worker in our criminal justice system for almost 27 years as well.

If you were to ask Chris what it is that defines him, he would most likely say friends, family and community. Both his parents were active in the community and they taught their kids to give back more than we were given. Whether Chris is dressed as a Black fly representing the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, organizing fossil hunts at the Bonnechere Museum in Eganville, doing Buy Local presentations, or utilizing Delfi strategies to help make businesses and organizations become more successful, his primary motivation is helping others succeed!
