What’s it like to be the son of a cop, with squad cars in the driveway? Are you driven by the same things your parents were motivated by or did you level up? What do you want for your kids? Inspired by the basketball team athletes he grew up with Chris made his way to LA, joined an acting class, and was even an extra in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Drew Carey Show, and a movie called Loony Toones! Chris discovered his incredible unique skill set. He focuses on marketing, sales, and technology where they merge. Most stuff doesn't stick with you but Chris got his strategy chops from the boiler room with Lou Pearlman and Wolf of Wallstreet. Sometimes you learn just as much from crooks as you do and the good guys.
