Chris was born in Camden, NJ and was a lifelong and proud resident of Gloucester City, NJ. He graduated in 1985 from Camden County Vocational & Technical Schools where he proceeded to prove his hard work ethic through working for the City of Gloucester as a Laborer for several years, and for InTest under the Mechanical Assembly department for over 15 years.
