Personal Interests

A majority of Chris' personal time is spent playing with his daughters Jackie and Kara. When Jackie and Kara are asleep for the day, he likes to spend his time immersed in a good book, watching a Netflix rental, juggling his fantasy football lineups, or playing on his iPhone.

Recently Chris has taken up golf. A successful golf outing is when he finds more balls than he loses.
