  • Never Far from Home Ep. 143 - Musician Turned Sportsman

    Chris Garner grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and watched hockey as a kid, but he didn't find himself playing until his late thirties. We talk about his childhood, growing into a musician, and some fun stories come up about some of the traveling he has been lucky enough to do. Things transition into a more sporty realm when Chris began playing hockey, volleyball, and golf, and we chat about the camaraderie of sport, and how important community is. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
