Chris has been active with the Elemisha program since 2011, which is where he started playing volleyball. After developing his outdoor volleyball fundamentals, he transitioned to indoor volleyball in 2014 and played for MVVC, Academy Volleyball Club, and Carlmont High School. As an outside hitter, Chris loves to play grass and beach doubles because of the wide range of skills needed to excel in outdoor volleyball. He has won multiple Elemisha end-of-the-year tournaments, and is looking forward to coaching the young players coming through our program. Chris’ involvement in the program has grown over the last few years, and his responsibilities now include training and development planning in addition to coaching.

Chris played outside hitter for the UC Berkeley Men’s club volleyball team from 2018-2021, and graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Data Science and Economics.

In his daily life, he is a data analyst for a tech company on the peninsula. In his free time, he also enjoys playing volleyball at local gyms, playing basketball, gaming, and listening to music.
