I'm Chris, I'm a Naval Officer by day (for not much longer!) and fun-loving businessman & socialite the rest of the time. I've been in Hampton Roads for nearly 5 years now. I have a sweet house in Suffolk, but spend most my time Ghent and VA Beach. I'm a traveler & adventurer at heart, so I can't wait to get over someday soon to Australia, Central & Western Europe, Asia and Africa for some serious traveling...the Navy's taken me to a lot of cool places, but the world's a big place! I love spontaneous, random fun like jumping in the car on a Saturday morning to go sky-diving on a whim. Or hopping on a plane to London to grab a pint of Strongbow Cider. Or taking a sunny day to go learn kite-surfing down in the Outer Banks. It's ok, I'll settle for a stop at Starbucks too! I am NOT a 9-5 guy, that's one thing the Navy's taught me for sure! I'm working some marketing projects pretty hard on the side...the goal is to NEVER have to submit a resume after the Navy fun is over! I actually really love what I'm doing on the side, it's challenging me in ways I've never been challenged, and I love learning and growing by overcoming those challenges! I have an amazing bunch of close friends spread across the country at this point, I love them all and I pride myself in being incredibly loyal to them. I love being active, running outside, working out at the gym, playing soccer or sailing. I also LOVE learning & reading & improving myself...yes, I'm a full on self-improvement nut, deal with it! Kind of funny coming from a guy who didn't really like "school" all that much, but that's a truly tiny percentage of what's to be learned in life. I am positive and optimistic no matter what, and I'm an intensely passionate romantic at heart.
