I met Chris 10 years ago at BFFOC, he was struggling to get up off the deck after we qual'd at the 100 meter line. I went over to help him up and hold his rifle, he said, "Thanks...non of these other cock suckers would help a one legged mother fucker off the ground." We became friends right away, and continued to work together for quite some time.
In fact, he was actually the driving factor for me to start my own company. He and I were on the range one day bitching about pay, instructor benefits, etc. I said, it can't be that hard to pay a fair wadge and treat dudes with respect. I said, hell...I might just start my own gig, to which he replied, "You aint got a hair on your ass if you don't just start your own company." My company is going on 7 years up and running and I owe a large part of that to him pressuring me to step outside of myself and make it happen. Rest easy brother...

I just saw this. We met up when I was running a training cell in NC, he came and gave a talk to the command staff about mentoring indigenous forces. RIP brother.

FWFS. After recently seeing his target avatar it reminded me of Tripod. Sad to see this.

Damn, this is late but I am hardly on here anymore. Chris was one of the lead instructors when I went through WPS in Virginia. He knew a lot and was a wealth of knowledge. He was always cracking jokes and making the time easier than what it needed to be. On of the funniest times was when we had to do our presentation a principle advance. Well, on one of the presentations,one of the other instructors had slipped in something a little "extra". It was the video of Chris when he was on "The Price is Right". Low and behold, they call out his name and he jumps up from the audience, all while wearing a fricking pirate shirt, and hobbles down and onto the stage. He ends up guessing the item correctly and makes it on stage with Drew Carey where he ends up winning! What did he win? A darn cotton candy machine! HAHAHA! The entire room was rolling in laughter. Chris thought it was the funniest thing ever and it made whatever nerves we had of presenting just go away. We had a great group of instructors,but Chris definitely stood out.Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. R.I.P.
