Chris was born in Maysville, KY and grew up in neighboring Fleming County, where he enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, and football up until his high-school years. Tragically, Fleming County didn't believe in organized soccer or a YMCA, so he enjoyed playing it in the schoolyard and backyard with friends and family. 

Chris's daughter started playing soccer with Iam3rd, and that started his journey as an assistant coach and then onto becoming head coach for the remaining 4 years. Learning the game alongside his daughter and her teammates and watching them grow from season to season has truly been a blessing. This past fall Chris coached his first season for Trident as the U10G head coach and is finishing out the spring season as an assistant coach.
