About Chris
A layman living the faith in the marketplace and in a big family.
After many years in full-time ministry, I stepped into the marketplace in 2020 and now work in real estate. I'm married to Christina, and we're the parents of six, including a son who is a cancer survivor. I live the same questions about faith, family and work as the people in your pews. I've also seen God show up in the hardest season our family has faced.
I also host Iron Sharpens Iron, a podcast produced in partnership with the Diocese of Orange about the adventure of faith and the leaps God asks us to take.
