He is currently an Intelligence Officer with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing G-2 out of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC involved in planning intelligence support to high-end aviation operations in a forward deployed setting.
He is a US Naval Academy graduate, Class of 2007 where he received his commission initially as a Second Lieutenant.

In his spare time, Chris helps foster total fitness/life coaching concepts inside military units. Since 2015 he has innovated concepts that combined unit physical training, life coaching through live speakers and video education, and optional Christian faith-based Command Religious Program activities to enhance the strength and character of individual military professionals and collective units to be physically, mentally, and spiritually ready for combat operations as well as thriving in everyday life. He was inspired by General Neller's Spiritual Fitness initiative and charged all Marine Corps leaders to train their people to be physically, mentally, and spiritually prepared for the violence of combat.
