He owns a small ranch in Cuba with cows, horses, and 35 acres of alfalfa, alongside 2 acres of hybrid, high altitude grape vines for the production of wine. Chris has a passion for helping the community and teaching the youth, and continues to innovate and find new creative ways to share ideas and facts about the land. He especially enjoys working with interns and new blood to bolster new projects and educate the public on his goals.
