Chris Woodhull is passionate about bringing Knoxville to its full potential and doing it in a way that involves more people and new ideas.

Chris is the Executive Director of TRIBE ONE, an inner city Christian ministry that encourages at-risk youth to walk away from gangs and destructive lifestyles and lead productive lives. He co-founded TRIBE ONE with the late Danny Mayfield, who was also a Knoxville City Councilman. The purpose of TRIBE ONE is to encourage personal responsibility among some of Knoxville's most at-risk youth.

Chris is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. He has completed classes in negotiation at Harvard and entrepreneurship at Yale.

He frequently conducts workshops for the University of Tennessee School of Law and the UT College of Social Work. In 1997, Christianity Today cited Woodhull and Mayfield in the "Up and Comers" issue as two leaders to watch.

He was a 1999 Knoxville Neighbor of the Year nominee and was featured on Hallerin Hilton Hill's television show, "Anything is Possible" in 2003.

Community Shares awarded him the "Heart of Change" Award in 2003.

Chris has been married to Mary Lawrence for 17 years. They have two daughters, Tess, who is 12 and Paris, who is nine and live in a 110 year old house in historic Mechanicsville near downtown.
