The product of a FOCUSed Father, Chris is passionate about helping dad’s see the power of their presence in their children’s lives. He has been a featured speaker at parenting forums, corporations, and has conducted workshops aimed at giving father’s inspiration and tools to interact with their children.  He is a frequent guest on the Sunrise program on the Minneapolis NBC affiliate, KARE 11 television.

Chris applies lessons learned in his 12+ years as a father, 17 years in the financial services industry, and personal experiences (like his triathlon) to the challenges of fatherhood. He also draws on the experiences and input of other FOCUSed Father’s to drive home his message.

Chris was born and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota and currently resides in Medina, with his wife Beth, their children Emily (12), Kate (10), and Bear (the dog). When not working his at his job in the investment industry, participating in fatherhood initiatives, or spending time with the girls, you will likely find Chris on the golf course or basketball court.
