In addition, he oversees a group called Keeping It Real, which helps teenagers connect spiritual ideals with current events. Chris’ coaching and personal development mentoring program Journey to Manhood for young men has proven to be instrumental with schools and parent who are looking for guidance and mentorship for their young men.
