Mini bio
How it started.
Chris grew up in Ottawa and began weight training to get bigger and stronger for football. In a 2017 Muscle Insider interview, he credited Iain Valliere, his sister’s boyfriend at the time, with coaching him into his first show. He competed in Sudbury in 2014 and won the junior class and men’s overall.
Finding his division.
He earned his pro card at the 2016 North American Championships. After finishing second at the Olympia in 2017 and 2018, he won Classic Physique in 2019. Five more consecutive wins followed, ending with his sixth title in 2024.
Beyond the stage.
Fans can follow his training and eating routines on YouTube and through STNDRD. His business life with RAW partners Matt Jansen and Dom Iacovone became the subject of Vlad Yudin’s 2024 documentary The Raw Story. Mark Bone’s The Standard turns toward the personal cost of his final competition and life afterward.
