A Veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Chris grew up playing in 400 acres of town-owned land in Salem, CT. He was up at 4am milking cows for a local dairy farmer after graduating High School. After leaving the Corps in 2007, Chris landscaped before heading to Maine in 2008 to work in Ski Patrol at Sunday River. He returned in the Spring and apprenticed as a farrier (horseshoer) before migrating into stone masonry. In 2010-2011 he worked as a private security contractor in Baghdad and finally ended up back home to attend school.

His interest in farming began in 2015 as his growing interest and immersion in the benefits of homegrown food expanded along with the desire to minimize his carbon footprint.

Chris is the handyman of the farm and it shows in the careful construction of the "chicken tractors" and reconstruction of the brood-house and the Poultry Processing room. Chris attended many seminars and workshops for Veteran Farmers to expand his knowledge of all things farming and network with other like-minded folks. Chris is in control of processing the poultry and heading the building and maintenance of infrastructure on the farm.
