A husband, step-father, and community-minded problem solver with a giving spirit that guides everything he does. His family thrives on adventure—from scuba diving and drag racing to go-karting and unforgettable travels through Canada’s wild country—and life is never short on fun.

Chris proudly serves as a soldier in the United States Army, with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. With a résumé that spans many industries—including more than a decade in the health and beauty field—his path has always been shaped by one question: What does my community need next?

That question led him to begin a new journey in barbering at The Gentleman’s Chair. Although he never planned to become a barber, Chris knew that to truly serve his small coastal town, he had to understand the craft and the culture behind it. His vision is rooted in bringing back the true and traditional barbershop—built on camaraderie, family, service, and the pride once associated with the trade.

For Chris, this shop is far more than a business. It is heritage—born from childhood memories of sitting in a barbershop chair and asking for a classic G.I. cut beside his grandfather, “Pa.” More than 40 years later, those moments still guide his mission: to care deeply, serve wholeheartedly, and create a place where community always comes first.
