Chris was installed as the 21st pastor of Harlingen Church in 2017. He is originally from Michigan, explaining his unhealthy devotion to the Detroit Tigers, but has lived in New Jersey since 1989 when he moved here after his discharge from the United States Marine Corps. He taught elementary school for 16 years before returning to school and earning his MDiv from New Brunswick Theological Seminary in 2010.
Together with his wife and best friend, Amy, they have raised 3 boys and are enjoying seeing their families begin to grow. Chris volunteers in the community by serving as the fire chaplain of Montgomery Township Volunteer Fire Company #1, and participates in several other community based activities/organizations.
When he is not working or serving on a committee he enjoys reading, gardening, and grilling or smoking dinner.
