Chris is a very spiritual person who is heavily involved in Athletes in Action as well as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. A member of the AFCA Good Works Team, Chris has spent time speaking to young adults in high school as well as speaking at several different times at jails and correctional facilities both in Wisconsin and Colorado encouraging the inmates to make right decisions in life. He also leads bible study sessions.

As a sophomore in high school, Chris was suspended for a couple of games and then suspended from school for separate incidents. He then became heavily involved in his church and turned his life around. Here is a good article on the subject:
