Chris has always been very passionate about sports. However, as a child, he suffered from asthma, a disease that can conflict with high endurance activities if not properly managed.
If children with asthma are taught to take the proper protocols to avoid exercise-induced asthma flair-ups, sports can be life-changing, helping them to stay fit and healthy and strengthening breathing muscles. Chris was lucky to have access to this education as a child, but not all kids have this privilege.
Now, as an adult, Chris wants to make sure that every child has the resources to manage their asthma so that they can participate in the activities that they love.
As someone who leads strategy projects in the decarbonization sector, he recognizes the importance of clean air in achieving lung health and is passionate about supporting Breathe SoCal's environmental education efforts
