About me
Residing in Chicago, Chris Detrych was adopted from Korea to the Detroit area. While attending University of Michigan, he founded an adoptee student group before taking a break from adoptee spaces for a decade. He returned to the scene by volunteering with Korean Adoptees of Chicago (Katch) for another decade, leading the group for six years. This conference marks Chris' tenth consecutive KAAN. Chris also serves on the committee of International Korean Adoptee Associations (IKAA), and prioritizes connecting adoptees while elevating our voices. Besides kicking it with adoptees, Chris enjoys commuting via bicycle, jamming to symphonic music, and completing video games.
