Chris was known and loved for his unique spirit. He had many interests and hobbies, with a true passion for personal training, boxing, and martial arts. His knowledge and expertise allowed him to share his gifts in the communities where he lived, including Roanoke Rapids, NC; St. Augustine, FL; Rochester, NY; Wilmington, NC; and finally in Greenville, NC, where he made his home.

Among his greatest contributions was giving back to his community. He worked with local organizations and alongside Pitt County legends in boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts, including John Ornsby, Bill McDonald, and Demetrius “Oak Tree” Edwards—world champions and respected experts in their fields.
