Born and raised in Sugar Land, TX, Chris has always displayed a positive attitude and outlook on life and he loves meeting new people everywhere he goes. His military-trained diligence and "adapt and overcome" mindset has led him to pursue his dreams with unwavering determination. Chris, a 20-year retired Marine and US Navy Veteran who served in the regions of Afghanistan, Iraq, detainee camps of Guantanamo Bay, stationed onboard the USS Carl Vinson during Bin Laden's burial at sea, and who was also inside the Pentagon on 9/11 100 yards from impact. After working as a paralegal for the Navy and Marine Jag Corps for 20 years and for the Department of Justice, Chris decided to embark on his entrepreneurial journey in real estate.
