Engagement
On August 10, 2007, late on a Friday night, I proposed to Becky under the moonlight at the Jefferson Memorial overlooking the Tidal Basin. She said, "Yes!," and we will be getting married on October 13, 2007 in Jekyll Island, Georgia. I am so blessed to be marrying such a wonderful woman, and can't wait to finally be together in the same city after months of living miles apart!

About Me
- Name: Chris Eller
- Location: Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil
I grew up in Conowingo, a small town in northeastern Maryland, spending the first 21 years of my life there, also completing my B.S. in biochemistry at the University of Delaware in 2003. Since 2003, I have been a medical student at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, VA. In my abundant free time, I referee high school, youth and adult soccer. I've also had the great privilege of spending parts of 3 summers in Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and Zambia as a volunteer missionary through the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. I'll now be taking a year between the third and fourth years of medical school to participate in the National Institute of Health Fogarty International Center/Ellison Medical Foundation Overseas Fellowship in Global Health and Clinical Research (hereafter refered to as the Fogarty Fellowship). I will live and work in Fortaleza, Brazil for the next year before returning to Charlottesville to complete my M.D. degree next year.
