Biography: I am Dr. Chris Hill. I am a graduate of Auburn University. War Eagle! But I am married to a Georgia Bulldog fan! I'm not much of a sports fan, but I do enjoy watching it with my wife. My wife and I have a beautiful, adopted daughter through foster care and a sweet dachshund dog named Marley. I am also a church pastor! I pastor a small Primitive Baptist Church in Thomaston, GA, where I live. I practice the two M's, Ministry and Math! I have been a math professor at Middle Georgia State University since 2001. It is my mission to help my students succeed academically and grow personally. I am very active with Shared Governance here at MGA. I am the chair of the Student Affairs Committee and represent the math department on the Executive Committee.
