Chris Cornwell has worn many hats throughout his career. For instance, he worked as a police officer in Dayton for nearly a decade and a desk job with the Ohio Department of Public Safety before joining the Division of Liquor Control as a compliance agent in August 2014.
But a job as a bouncer at a bar in the late 90s was what led Chris to donate a kidney this year.
