Following an honorable discharge, Chris relocated to Houston, where he built a successful real estate investment firm, raising over $15 million in capital and generating $20 million in investments within five years.
His sales and marketing skills led to him becoming a bestselling author and coach in the real estate sector. After leaving real estate, Chris shifted gears to pursue law, earning a degree in political science from the University of Houston, with minors in history and national security. He then went on to graduate from South Texas College of Law in 2024.

For his outstanding work, he was named the 2020 Agent of the Year by the most prominent business brokerage firms in the Southwestern US. During this period, Chris also started his family, marrying his wife and welcoming three daughters. He later became a law clerk at a leading personal injury firm.
