About Chris

I'm a former U.S. Marine. I was a Rifleman with Bravo 1/1 and Coxwain on a Combat Rubber Raiding Craft. After EAS I went to college and eventually received an MBA. I started my own insurance agency focusing on small business insurance. I remember trying to find my way after getting out of the Marines, the struggles and the fears, and I would like to help a veteran through this transition. It can be done!
