Chris Devenny

Chris Devenny is the general manager of Celtic House, an Irish bar and restaurant located in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Originally from Londonderry, Ireland, Chris moved to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor visa during the Obama administration. He became a U.S. citizen in December, reflecting on the increasing fear and uncertainty surrounding immigration policies under President Trump's administration, which have affected many within the Irish-American community, including those who are undocumented.
