Chris graduated High School in 1988 in Norman, Oklahoma. He then served in the U.S. Navy from 1988-1994. Chris drove a concrete truck then moved into over the road trucking. He was a Jack-Of-All-Trades, loved to off road in his Jeep, quad and bike. Chris enjoyed guns, reloading, fishing, woodworking, making cabinets and thought about leaving the trucking business to do woodworking. He loved his family and friends, but was a hardheaded person.
