Born in Texas, yet raised here and there, he mostly resided in the northern Heartland. Chris married his high school sweetheart in 1990. The lovely and gracious Miss Margo, is the mother to their three children.

As a Christian believer since youth — but not always an exemplary one — Chris is still workin’ on some things.

Much like Private Joe Bauers in Idiocracy, a decisively average American

In 1994, he founded Comfort King Mattress Factory and has been tearin’ it up ever since. Chris invented the Lifetime Comfort Guarantee, zippers for Comfort Adjustments, the SoftSpot Warranty, FLOWT Zero Gravity Gel, and (the less famous) Nose Warmer. Tour the showroom.

Chris enjoys fishing, 4-wheeling, shooting, anything outdoors, gardening, reading, kayaking, cooking, sharpening knives, and…being a mentor to Jeff Gould.
