When he was a toddler his family moved to their farm in Yorkville where he attended elementary school and graduated from Union Grove High school in 1966. It was there that his love for music began and where he played the trombone in the school band and began to hone his carpentry skills as he helped his dad build their family home. He also had talent for refurbishing cars, totally dismantling and rebuilding them. After high school, Chris served in the army and was stationed in Germany. He later enjoyed living in Austin, Texas where he loved going to various music venues, concerts and festivals.
