It is this mindset that allowed Chris and his team to Champions 4 Cures team to raise over $109,000 for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in his Man of the Year Campaign. It is this mindset that allowed Paul to train his brother to be the adult National Taekwondo Champion at the age of 16 who is now his business partner with four locations and commercial properties under their belts.
