Chris has been an entrepreneur since before he could talk. When growing up in Washington Heights, New York. Things were difficult for his teenage parents and immigrant household. He saw his dad and uncle open up a barbershop before he was walking and grew up in the hustlers environment that is a NYC barbershop. Everyday hustlers would come in to sell DVDs, gloves, glasses, iPods and so much more.

Through the years he would watch his uncle negotiate these people to a quarter of their asking price and watch as his father grew from one barbershop to multiple truck routes and real estate investing. Taking Chris and his family out of the rough inner city streets to one of the wealthiest zip codes in the world. That was when he realized he would follow his dad and uncle in entrepreneurship.

In high school Chris was captain of the wrestling team, a varsity baseball player, high school musical actor, and part of the Future Business leaders of America. As he graduated from high school he started his first business with his cousin who wanted to make music. After graduating his god brother and close friend passed away due to depression and suicide which left Chris wondering what was next for him.
