Chris considers his greatest accomplishment to the Boys & Girls Clubs as being able to experience the youth that he worked with now graduating college and being able to start their lives as productive, caring and responsible adults. The movement has always been important to him because it gives him the ability to give back to something that gave him so much as a child.
