In high school, Chris played football, basketball, and baseball at varsity levels with the desire to play basketball in college. After high school graduation in 2001, Chris wanted a break from school and gave up a few opportunities to play basketball in college.

Chris went back and received a scholarship to play at Trinity University in Chicago. In 2004, Chris moved to California with family and was inspired to concentrate on performing. While finishing college and studying acting, Chris fell into modeling for fashion shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
