Bio

Chris's work sits at the intersection of personal wellness and performance. He helps individuals and organizations grow through change rather than simply manage it. Rooted in his I Get To philosophy, he blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and lived performance experience to strengthen the internal foundation required when expectations are high and results matter.

That philosophy was sharpened during a full Ironman he completed while fighting the flu. What unfolded that day reinforced a defining truth for Chris: resilience begins in the mind. He became obsessed with understanding this mindset and the benefits it generates, ultimately leading him to where he is today.

His journey has taken him from serving as a Division I baseball captain at Michigan State to competing in professional baseball, and later into eleven years in MedTech sales and leadership, where he contributed to more than $100 million in revenue. Across sports and business, Chris has seen how excellence grows from identity, clarity, and a disciplined mindset. Through keynotes, immersive workshops, and long-term partnerships, he helps leaders and teams elevate energy, cultivate resilience, and perform with intention when it counts.

When he's not on stage, Chris can often be found training for endurance events, skiing in the mountains, traveling to new places, exploring a new fitness challenge, hosting a coffee meet-up, or trying a new restaurant with friends.
