But he says the most important thing he's done in life is donate a kidney to his friend Robin Feeko, when her own failed.
Robin says, "When I first found out I needed a kidney transplant, he was one of the first people who said - I'll be tested."
That was even before she found out none of her siblings would be suitable.
It turns out Chris was a perfect match....
And was still gung-ho, despite several delays.
Chris says, "Not once did I think I want to back out of this."
Chris says he was even more certain of his decision on transplant day, when he saw Robin.
"I was shocked to see how fast it was slowing her down. Her speech, her face was drawn, her color was gone. To see her now, it's like a totally different person. It really is," he says.
Doctors say living donors like Chris are helping make a small dent in the continual organ shortage.
"It gets them off waiting lists, it gets them off dialysis. It allows them to lead better and fuller lives," says their transplant surgeon.
Robin is now off dialysis, leading a near-normal life, thanks to her friend.
"It was a godsend," she says.
"People have reached a hand out to me when I needed it, and i've never forgotten it. I'm a strong believer in 'pay it forward, '" Chris says.
Chris says he thinks some people want to donate, but are afraid their employer may not approve.
In his case, he says once his employer knew how important this gift was, they were 100-percent on-board.
