Before being honorably discharged, he was stationed overseas in England, where he studied at The University of Maryland Extension and New Mexico State University.
Chris enjoys teaching and public speaking and is a certified NRA pistol and rifle instructor. He can also build precision rifles in various calibers from 5.56mm to .308 - which are all considered small arms. In his spare time, Chris is a motorcyclist and loves riding all over the country. A writer, he enjoys writing in both poems and prose. Chris’ biggest cheerleader of his real estate career is his wife, Joyce.
