He has steadily increased his income and created better work life balance each year. Early in life Christopher received his Eagle Scout and this ability to accomplish things that few do became a mindset for him.

Fast forward to his work life balance. Christopher starts his days at 2:30 AM. having a 6,4 and 1 year old he understands that to get things accomplished he needs to have his own time. Each morning he starts with a 5k run and the day unfolds from there. Best part is when the regular agent is rolling into the office Christopher is just about to end his workday and spend time with family.
