After getting turned on to the Sierra when he was young, Christopher did the John Muir Trail a few years later before heading off to Notre Dame for undergrad, and then UC San Diego for grad school. Since then, He’s worked as a finance professional and entrepreneur in the Bay Area where he lives with his growing family in Orinda, CA. He co-founded TSX Challenge with the goal of helping adventurers discover the trek he fell in love with 25 years ago and sharing the secrets of the Sierra with curious travelers.
