The man who made a career of being the Brokest Guy In The Room. In his life, Chris has been a Poet, Politician, Student, Teacher, Athlete, Employee, Owner, Chef, Broker, Father, Friend, and leader. While his athletic career would end early following a knee injury, Chris’s introduction to public and motivational speaking would began in kind. After being a repeat finalist at the Famous Poets Society International Convention, he would move on to become a judge and lecturer in subsequent years. In his early adult years Chris would attend the Park School of Communications at Ithaca College. It was here that he and friend Joseph Zohar would start their first company, Moving Box Studios, during their freshman year. Despite dropping out Sophomore year, Chris would continue his entrepreneurial path by purchasing and revitalizing a Subway Franchise Restaurant, opening an independent wine and liquor store, and running for Mayor in the City of Ithaca, NY. Following the birth of his daughter Madison, Chris promptly withdrew from the Campaign and offered his support to competitor and would-be mayor. With politics behind him and family alongside, Chris moved forward to a new partnership and the creation of Key Brokers Real Estate. In learning to balance the enormity of responsibility presented by multiple businesses and new family, Chris began to seek out education on Yoga and Meditation. It would be in this practice that Chris would discover the importance of intention setting and mindfulness in daily life. Over time, Chris began to learn that an effective and fulfilling life can be manifested with the right intention and daily practice. In his own words, this journey would take him from being a person who would have eagerly traded lives with anyone on the planet, to a person who would be unwilling to trade lives with anyone on the planet. His discovery of power came through clarity of purpose and awareness of intention. While his path to discovery was one of reaction, the offering of his discovery has been carefully crafted with mindful intention. Presently Chris is the host of weekly podcast “The Brokest Guy In The Room” and hosting creator of BGIR ME masculine recovery retreats. Having spent his life learning to identify, understand, and apply his internal power, Chris now intends to use that understanding to help guide others towards similar awakenings. Captivating, inspiring, and challenging; Chris will help you identify with your inner power and brings its intensity into your daily life.
