Chris's last acting job was in 1991. He graduated Thousand Oaks High School in 1994, went on to Moorpark community college to study Spanish, and then some study in Bible School. After 10 years competing with Giovanni Ribisi, Leo DiCapprio, and others, he decided to go a different direction. He chose to accept God's amazing love, follow Christ, and went on to pastor a church and help "share the amazing answer I've found to The Big Question". He spent a year in Central America visiting 6 countries and 15 cities, and also traveled to Mexico frequently to work with indigenous people on an Indian Reservation. He lived in Thousand Oaks, California up until 2001, when he married his wife Tara.
