Chris’s large act of kindness several years ago led to his friendship with one of our hosts but his work is a great topic of conversation during this episode. Chris decided to pursue the career of an electrician when he figured out he was not as good of a basketball player as the world thought he was and that decision might have been one of the best decisions of his life. Chris’s work ethic is clear, but he says he is a hard worker because he can’t sit still and he just wants to provide for his family. What is clear, Chris and his wife Kate have done everything they can possibly do to support their son’s dream of playing football while also supporting their daughter’s passion for horses. Parenting is hard, there is no manual, but Chris is the definition of the American Dream: he is providing more opportunities for his family than he was provided.
