Chris says that from the time he was young he loved anything with an engine. He grew up with his Grandpa working on semi trucks and always having GM vehicles around. He enjoys anything that can be driven or ridden from first 600cc sport bike at 18 to the logical next step at 20 going to a 1300cc Hayabusa. Chris moved on from riding street bikes and now focuses on cars. He has a mix of vehicles, with his wife Misty owning a 2004 Cosmos Purple GTO on which Chris installed his LSA blower and Brembo brakes. His daughter Claire is in love with VW’s and currently drives a bright yellow 2000 VW Beetle while his son Warren (almost 13) has a 2004 Yellow Jacket GTO. Chris still owns first vehicle, a 1970 C10 pickup and some other interesting vehicles like a 1939 Pontiac Silver Streak that was the last car his dad built before he passed.

Professionally, Chris works for Bavius Technologies, a German high speed 5 axis machine tool builder, mainly used by aerospace to produce large aluminum structures. He has worked in service for them for 13 years and is currently in the process of transitioning to a Service Manager position.

Chris had always wanted to own a CTS-V station wagon and in 2020 got the opportunity to buy one. Shortly after acquiring the V-Wagon, he met a group of Rocky Mountain Race Week cars passing through his hometown and knew that was his future with the car. Chris heavily modified his V-Wagon and has competed successfully in numerous drag racing events. In fact, Chris won the V8 Pro Street class at the 2023 Cadillac V-Racing Top Gun Invitational event at Texas Motorplex.

Ownership of the V-Wagon and membership in the V-Club has led Chris to build close relationships with numerous members. As such, when Chris learned that Felicia had decided to "pass the torch", Chris felt led to volunteer to carry on the momentum established by Felicia who volunteered to serve in the leadership role back in 2020.  He is looking forward to the serving in the Operational Leadership Team position, planning events and recruiting new members and local sponsors.
