Born in Hereford, England, Chris served in the Royal Navy at the end of WWII.

In 1948, Chris immigrated to Canada and began working for Royal Insurance in Toronto. Before long, he became an independent insurance adjuster until the mid 1990's. In 1994, Chris moved to Port Dalhousie to be closer and more involved with the rowing course. During these years, in addition to rowing himself, he served and volunteered in many official positions in the sport, including President of Ridley Graduate Boat Club. Chris will be remembered for his dedication and hard work in his career and his favourite pastime.
