Chris has a master's degree in the school of hard knocks.

Between 2006-2010 Chris taught the Real Estate Investing course at Madison Area Technical College, which saw 100's of students come through his classes. In July 2012, Chris founded The Madison REIA and in July 2021 merged with Wisco REIA which now has 10 REIA locations across Wisconsin, bringing the combined membership to well over 500!
