As the Director of Corporate Communications at Colonial Life, Chris spends his days educating consumers on the importance of voluntary benefits, ideas for improving their work productivity and tips for living a healthier lifestyle. In reality, he’s in the role because he needs daily reminders of all three. A former reporter and editor for The (Columbia, S.C.) State, AOL/Patch, The Roanoke (Va.) Times and the (Spartanburg, S.C.) Herald-Journal, Chris thrives on sharing information and daily deadlines.

Away from the office, Chris is a proud dad to two boys who are growing up too quickly. He loves to volunteer as a coach and at his church. Most evenings, he can be found out on the baseball diamond, tennis court or football field – where he’s trying to wear the boys down for a good night’s sleep.
