Born and raised in an aviation family. Met his wife Denise (Tora narrator) in college. When the planned Navy career didn’t work out, he started his civilian career flying for an air ambulance outfit. He built up his flight hours and was picked up by American Eagle where he worked up to becoming the Chief Pilot in the Fort Worth base. Soon thereafter he started flying for Continental Airlines who now is United Airlines. He serves as a captain and check pilot for the Airbus fleet. Chris actively volunteers with several units within the CAF.
