Chris was born and raised in southern Illinois in the St. Louis, Missouri metro area. Throughout high school, Chris developed a love for foreign languages. During his senior year, he participated in an exchange program to Germany.
When he returned to the United States, he attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), where he received a degree in Mass Communications TV and Radio. Chris worked for five years at radio stations and at newspapers in central Illinois and eastern Missouri.
In 2000, Chris began service with the LCMS World Mission program Volunteer Youth Ministry. The VYM program was a two-and-a-half year program working with Japanese Lutherans teaching English.
The time in Japan caused Chris to seriously consider full-time church work. After much prayer, Chris began study at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
During his third year at seminary, Chris had the opportunity to spend three months alongside an LBT missionary in Botswana, southern Africa. Chris learned and saw first-hand the importance of having at least a portion of the Bible translated in mother-tongue languages. The exposure to Bible translation made a deep and lasting impression on him.
In July 2007, Chris fulfilled his vicarage internship in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and was assigned to serve Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Greenleaf, Kansas.
In January 2010 Chris was called to serve with LBT in Ghana, West Africa, and began his ministry as Scripture Media Advisor in June 2011.
