Chris grew up in New Canaan and went through the entire public school system, graduating from NCHS in 1999.  In high school he was a three sport athlete in soccer, wrestling and track and was also a member of the band, jazz band and pit orchestra.  He has been involved with the Congregational Church and the YG program for many years, making him an ultimate YG alumnus.  He was active in YG all through high school and also came back while in college.

After high school he attended Miami University (OH) where he had the opportunity to explore a variety of different studies, but never strayed too far from working with youth.  He ultimately decided to focus on becoming a teacher and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in history with a minor in coaching.

Chris has been working with youth in many different capacities for most of his life.  While in high school and college he worked at summer camps, after school programs and as a soccer referee and since graduating from Miami in May of 2004 was a substitute teacher in the New Canaan public school system and an advisor for YG, MSYG and JYG.  He is also currently the director of a summer camp in Greenwich where he has worked for the past four years.

Chris is extremely passionate about working with youth.  He is especially excited to be working with the youth of this church and is looking forward to the great years ahead.
