My middle school Sharky nickname probably inspired by 🔗 Sharky the Sharkdog. Or maybe because I skated until I was drenched in sweat. These days I’m known as Chris. Just Chris.

My father dedicated over 20 years of his life to the military (Navy), which included a year long tour of Vietnam. He suffered through at least one fused vertebrae. Military (Florida) said it wasn’t their problem. That’s a big part why I am the way I am. And that’s why I’ve included the link. I’m not pointing fingers, it just was what it was.
