Chris competed in wrestling the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games where he won Silver. He has also won medals at World Cups and the Commonwealth Games.
Chris is very involved in his community. In 1989, he developed the Power Tour — a life- skills and substance abuse prevention program for students in Grades 4 to 8. In 1993, with the help of a member of the RCMP, he co-founded the ESTEEM Team athletic role model program, which blossomed into a national youth development organization.
Chris is very involved in coaching soccer, lacrosse, hockey and wrestling. He is great role model in our community and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to have him as friend 😀
