Chris's martial arts journey began many years ago, but it was when he discovered Driven Jiu Jitsu that his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling truly flourished. He dedicates significant time to behind-the-scenes study, consistently watching techniques and learning from high-level grapplers to refine his skills.

Chris began assisting with the Kids Jiu Jitsu classes and now leads the Youth Class. He also instructs two adult classes per week and actively participates in every open mat session. In July 2022, Chris earned his brown belt, becoming the first original Driven Jiu Jitsu member to receive this honor. In June 2024, he earned his black belt from Alex Jeffrey after over a decade of commitment to the art.

A competitor in both Gi and No-Gi tournaments, Chris is always improving his teaching and remains our leg lock guru. His passion for Jiu Jitsu extends beyond his personal growth—he is committed to passing the art down to the next generation, both through his adult program and beginner kids' classes.
