Chris grew up in a military family: spending most of his childhood living all around the world.  He went to college in North Carolina, graduating with a Business degree.  The seminal event that led Chris to the military was the terrorist attacks on our country on September 11, 2001.  His dad, a former military pilot and current airline pilot, called to wake him up that morning with the news and to ask him to pray for our country.  Chris did more than that.  Within weeks of the attacks, he had researched the ROTC options at his university and joined the Air Force contingent, joining a long line of men on both sides of his family who have served their country in uniform.

Chris secured a highly competitive spot in the US Air Force pilot training out of college.  After two years of Primary and Advanced Pilot Training, Chris received the coveted wings that designated him an Air Force Pilot.  Now it’s Chris’ own military career that takes him all over the world.

While deployed to Iraq, Chris’ unit flies troops and their equipment in support of the war effort throughout the Middle East.  He is constantly in contact with the various military elements being transported on their aircraft and has ample opportunity to “spread the cheer” and spread the word about the great crew at Legends in Concert, Myrtle Beach.  He’ll be seeing you later this year when he comes back to the United States from his current deployment.
