Biography
Chris was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. After graduating high school, Chris served honorably for six years in the US Army Infantry. He was deployed overseas multiple times, including two combat tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 7, 8, 9, and 10. After completing his enlistment and receiving an honorable discharge, Chris moved to Houston and began investing in real estate. He led an investment company that raised over $15 million in capital and generated $20 million in total investments over five years.
Chris’ marketing and sales efforts made him a bestselling author and coach in the real estate investment arena. Upon exiting real estate, Chris decided to pursue a career as an attorney. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Houston, where he majored in political science and double-minored in history and national security studies. He enrolled in law school at South Texas College of Law, graduating in 2024.
Chris supported himself through school as a business broker, helping numerous small and midsize business owners find their exit while transacting nearly $7 million dollars in assets. For this, he was named the 2020 Agent of the Year by the largest, oldest business brokerage firm in the Southwestern United States. During that time, Chris also married the love of his life, welcomed three beautiful girls into the world, and became a law clerk at one of the premier personal injury firms in the country.
Today, Chris uses his wide range of experience and skills to help Arnold & Itkin’s clients recover what they’ve lost after they’ve been wronged. As a disabled veteran, he has a uniquely personal understanding of how clients’ lives are changed when they suffer life-altering injuries at the hands of negligent individuals and corporations.
