Chris was born in Morristown, NJ, just a few blocks from the wedding venue, and grew up in scenic Chatham Borough with his parents, Len and Carol, and younger sister, Emily. As a Chatham Cougar, Chris sought out the arts via musical theater (he's quite the thespian), and athletics via track & field (also quite the javelin thrower). As a noted Man of Science and a born Aquarius, naturally life would lead him towards the water engineering industry.

A graduate of the prestigious School of Engineering at Rutgers University, Chris' time on The Banks of the Ol' Raritan were some of his fondest, with just as much learned outside the classroom as in it. He is a licensed professional engineer, and proudly a third generation water/wastewater engineer.

Chris is outgoing, energetic, and always eager to pursue good vibes with his friends and family. As an Aquarius, he loves being near the water, whether it be for beach days at the Jersey Shore, catching frogs at a local pond, or fishing with his dad and friends.

While Shakira will always be Chris' true love, his first love has always been sports - especially football. A diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, and a long-tortured supporter of his beloved Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Chris is at his happiest (and sometimes saddest) when watching ball with the fellas and Shak. He shares a special talent with his father and his Best Man of knowing a bit too much information about individual football players (did you know former Kansas City Chiefs RB Charcandrick West went to Abilene Christian University? Well, now you know).
