Chris’s long-time passion for skateboarding led him to open a successful business, Street Dreamz Boardshop in Delta, BC. He loves spending time rolling around in his wheelchair at skate parks and being part of the community.
Chris had been pursuing a career as a competitive skateboarder when he was in a serious car accident. The car he was a passenger in hit a curb too tightly and crashed, leaving Chris with paraplegia. He spent many months in hospital recovering from the accident.
Today, Chris enjoys spending time with his fiancée and extended family and friends, and taking his two bulldogs to the park. He’s also an avid camper.
