“A great communicator and innovator”

“Like a championship quarterback”
There are few individuals that understand and have thrived in this space across multiple decades, countries, sports and event formats. Chris has ice in his veins and is like a championship quarterback – he sees what is going to happen 3-4 plays before it does and his team can then react before the issue even happens.
“Here then is your bible”
