Owner: Fire Fitness LLC (Personal Training)

Born and raised in Pacific Northwest, Chris has spent years in Bothell, Salem, Ashland and now has lived in Portland the past 6 years. He has always been intertwined with the world of fitness and sports. His father, a weight training teacher and high school head football coach, played a pivotal role in shaping his early experiences. This instilled a passion for fitness that he loves to share with others.

Chris attended Southern Oregon University, where he pursued a degree in psychology while actively participating all 4 years in football (WR/Returner), and his first 2 years in track (sprints). The combination of academics and athletic training programs laid the groundwork for the future.

Post-SOU, Chris merged his passion for fitness and psychology and has been a personal trainer for the past 15 years. Ten of those years in a leadership role, heading teams of trainers at a well-known corporate "big box" style gym.

Now, Chris is excited to start a new chapter in his fitness journey; being part of a smaller, personable, community-oriented facility at Vive, which aligns with Chris' current values and aspirations.

What to expect: "A session in the gym should be one of the highlights of the day! I want you to look forward to your session. Anticipate an appropriately challenging workout that blends strength, mobility, cardio and functionality that is unique to you. Leaving you feel energized, encouraged and accomplished."

Outside the gym: Chris likes spending time with his family, chasing his two little girls around. You can also catch him regularly rooting for the Blazers, Beavs and Seahawks.
