As a dedicated endurance athlete himself, Chris believes in the importance of maintaining balance in training and life. He is eager to support his clients to set realistic goals and achieve them through consistency and dedication.

Before starting Unpaved, Chris spent 4 years as a high-performance coach within the Royal Netherlands Air Force working one-on-one with students in a high stress environment to create and complete training programs.
