​
He pursued theatre in middle and high school, and eventually went on to earn a BFA in Music Theatre from Elon University. Soon after, he was performing in national tours and at regional theaters all across the country.

He most notably was on the National Tour of Irving Berlin's White Christmas for four seasons, featuring Randy Skinner's original Broadway choreography.
​
Chris continues to perform, and he is also a director/choreographer. He has choreographed for Disney Theatrical, Applause NY, Music Theatre of CT, Cape Cod Theatre Company, The Prizery, and more. Chris is also a video editor for Unreel Films and has a 99% escape room record.
