Growing up in Danville California, Chris dreamed and set a goal of being one of the best—the best athlete, the best husband and the best father.
Chris began his athletic career achieving success as a collegiate water polo player at Long Beach State University. In 1997, Chris was introduced to the sport of triathlon and won his first race--his future was set. He demonstrated tremendous potential as an age-grouper, which motivated Chris to train longer and harder at perfecting his skills. This set the foundation for Chris to turn pro only three years after beginning in the sport.
Chris has focused on what he wants and is well on his way by already accomplishing more that some athletes dream of accomplishing in their entire career—and he is just beginning. Chris has become anIronman Champion and is currently the U.S. National Champion. He recently finished 13th at the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, less than five minutes behind the top 5. He wants to see the sport grow to levels never thought possible. When asked for role models in other sports that Chris would like to emulate, he says Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong, with the hope to do for triathlon what they have done for their sports. He wants to be one of the greats in all of sports.
Chris is fortunate to have Karis, his wife of eight years by his side in this journey. Karis is his biggest fan and continues to support him thru his endeavor to become the Ironman World Champion. Chris andKaris recently were blessed with a baby boy - Kaiden—a future Ironman?? We’ll see!!
The time, dedication and will it takes to be a loving husband and father AND to be a professionaltriathlete is beyond that of any other sport. Chris has managed to successfully balance all three.
