After growing up in Mackay, QLD, Chris moved to Sydney at 19yrs to pursue his dream of playing in the National Rugby League (NRL). Following three years in lower grades, he was contracted full time with the Wests Tigers playing 27 NRL games between 2002 and 2006. When his rugby league career ended, Chris worked in banking and financial services for over 18 years most recently holding the position of General Manager Distribution & Marketing for leading non-bank lender, Resimac.

With a proven track record in overseeing high performing teams, Chris uses his experiences playing professional sport to be an active leader who focuses on development, striving to perform at higher standards while promoting team-work. Chris is as comfortable working with young athletes looking to progress as he is with seasoned company directors seeking higher performance from their employees.
