Personal Interests

A majority of Chris' personal time is spent playing with his daughter Jackie. When Jackie is asleep for the day, he likes to spend his time immersed in a good book, watching a Netflix rental or juggling his fantasy football lineups.

Recently Chris has taken up golf. A successful golf outing is when he finds more balls than he loses.
