Meet Chris

Each year on his birthday, Chris selects a challenging mountain, trains diligently, and undertakes the climb. Over time, these adventures have led him to conquer some of the tallest peaks in various ranges, including the ADK, New England, the Rockies, Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Smoky Mountains. His pursuits have also included remarkable feats like scaling Half Dome in Yosemite and hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim.

Recently, Chris reflected on the invaluable lessons he learned from playing sports as a child—teamwork, work ethic, and perseverance. Around the same time, he received an email from a charity that supports families struggling with the rising costs of youth sports. This alignment of experiences inspired Chris to make a meaningful impact in his local NY community, and "Klimb for Kids Sports" came to life.
