Chris attended Snook High School through his junior year, receiving his GED, and later pursued an associate’s degree. He began his work career at Kelly Burt Dozer as a heavy equipment operator. Later he moved to Connecticut for two years while holding the same position before moving back to Texas. He worked for the City of Bryan for a short time before joining Atkinson Toyota as a Service Writer. In December 2020, he moved to Pearland.

Chris was baptized as an infant, but later proclaimed his faith in Christ, and followed with baptism by immersion on May 17, 2020. During his teen years, he traveled to Austria with Teen Missions International to help with building projects for churches. He loved reading the Bible with his son Tristan and praying and singing with him. Chris enjoyed watching Texas University football and watching Astros games of which he took his daughter Brittany to many times. Chris enjoyed long talks with Tyler after his many Navy Reserve drills at his house, and this time was precious to them both. He enjoyed fishing and hunting and being outdoors.
