I’m Coach Chris, a Cincinnati native and Miami University graduate with a degree in political science. In 2014, I moved to the D.C. area for a career in public policy, but volunteering with youth at the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center and through Big Brothers Big Sisters showed me my true passion: mentoring kids and helping them see their worth as God’s children.

Since 2017, I’ve worked in youth development through sports and mental health. I first joined Lord’s Gym in 2021, volunteering at the Family Activities Center, then coaching youth football, and officially joining staff in October 2021. I love serving in Price Hill and sharing the hope and joy found in Jesus with kids and families.

Sports have been a lifelong passion, and I’m proud to lead the Lord’s Gym Panthers youth sports program, working with volunteer coaches, local schools, and donors to provide boys and girls with organized sports and training opportunities.

I live in Price Hill with my wife, Bailey, and our family.
