Family & More
Chris cherishes quality time with his family—his wife Stephanie, and their kids Caden and Cloe. Whether at home or exploring new places, especially if it involves Disney, these moments hold a special place in Chris's heart.
​
Chris was born and raised, and still calls Lincoln, Nebraska home. In his youth, some might label Chris shy or introverted.
He cherished his close-knit group of friends, relishing in typical 80's and 90's activities like building forts, riding makeshift fire truck bikes, exploring, collecting things, and the inevitable lesson in patience via dial-up internet.
​
In his teen years, two passions emerged – summer camp and public speaking. Volunteering and working at camp introduced Chris to amazing friends and experiences that shaped his identity—despite being the 'shy kid,' camp provided opportunities to break out of his comfort zone, speaking in small groups and around campfires, eventually leading to training others. His love for helping others reach their full potential likely originated around a smoky fire in a place close to his heart.
​
Chris met his best friend, now his wife, Stephanie, at that very camp. A few years later, they embarked on the adventure of marriage and lived happily ever after!
​
Chris's family is his grounding force, and raising their amazing kids with Steph is one of life's greatest adventures. Pursuing personal and professional endeavors propels him to set goals continually, living into his full potential.
