Christopher is a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and performance coach with a special interest in sports medicine, performance, and the development of youth athletes.

Education:

Christopher was the founder of our Long-Term Athletic Development program and although he now resides in Phoenix, AZ, he is an active consultant with our Performance Coaching programs. In this program, Christopher created detailed evaluations for our youth athletes and a systematic approach to programming their exercise sessions based on their maturational age and ability. As a consultant on our team, he continues to educate our coaches (and parents) on the principles of safe and effective performance training for children and adolescents.

In his current role in Phoenix, Christopher works as a sports physical therapist for Banner Physical Therapy.

Before moving to Durham, Christopher worked as an athletic trainer for the Portland Timbers Football Club, Florida Gulf Coast University Men’s Soccer Team, and IMG Academy. Christopher received his performance training credentials from EXOS, where he underwent a dual internship in both physical therapy and performance training as he helped prepare athletes for the NFL Combine.

As an athlete, Christopher participated in a wide range of sports, including football, soccer, baseball, rugby, and wrestling. During college, he competed in endurance sports, including marathons and triathlons. Today, Christopher enjoys playing golf on the weekends, hiking, riding his bike on the Tobacco Trail, and strength training.
