Chris first became interested in human performance enhancement during a short time as a martial artist. This led him to focus his computer engineering degree more intently on human anatomy and physiology. For the past 3 years, Chris has continued to dedicate all of his free time to studying human physiology as well as practical approaches to enhancing human performance through exercise, diet and lifestyle. Through his contributions on the American Parkour website, he has helped hundreds of novice and intermediate athletes identify goals and better training practices to excel in their discipline. Since September 3, 2007, parkour has been the sport/discipline of choice for Chris. He currently follows his own, custom program of strength and skill training which is heavily based in gymnastics. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Chris currently resides in Colorado Springs, CO working as a Biomedical Research Consultant.
