Chris started Crossfit in 2014 from a Groupon with a hope of something different than the years of going to the globo-gym doing body building type workouts.  The first workout he did reminded him of the workouts he did in high school and college track.  From that point in 2014, he has gone on to earn his CF-L1 & CF-L2 certification, Crossfit Gymnastics certification, USA Weightlifting Level 1 certification and most recently The Ready State Mobility Coach certification.  He has been coaching Crossfit since January 2018 and as he has gotten older his main philosophy in both coaching and working out has shifted toward moving well and preventing injuries before they occur.  Chris understands that there is no one size fits all approach to fitness, and he promotes sustainability in all athletes as well as working toward getting better every day.

 

In December 2019 he got married to his love, Tina.  Together, they have Eliana (8) and their new addition Charlotte .  They also have three spoiled pups: Murphy, Fenley and Maya.

 

Chris is currently the CTO of his family’s oil and gas consulting company and he heads the GIS department.  He graduated from Texas State University in 2004 with a B.S. in Geography and Texas A&M University in 2020 with a M.S. in Geosciences. 

 

His current hobbies away from Crossfit are mountain biking, roasting coffee and petting all the dogs.
