In their spare time, Chris and his spouse like to take their two dogs (Henry and Riley) on long walks, explore surrounding towns, visit museums and take in shows.

What made you decide to get your real estate license?

After relocating to the Gulf Coast, I wanted a career where I could use both my entrepreneurial skills and passion for helping others. After careful consideration, Real Estate became the clear the clear answer. I am definitely a people person who is not afraid of hard work and challenges.
