Day 136 of 365 "Rags to Riches"

Meet Chris from Las Vegas, NV.

The one word that best describes Chris' life is "Amazing."

If Chris could change one thing in the world, he would "make wealth equal."  The way he would go about making this change would be to be more conscious of people around him and pay it forward.

One year from today, Chris would like to complete his commercial diving training.  Ultimately Chris would like to work for National Geographic.

If Chris' life were a movie, it would be about overcoming adversity and working his way out of the "system" to become a father.  The title of Chris' movie would be called "Rags to Riches."

We met Chris while he and his friend were playing with his daughter in the ocean.  They were enjoying the warm summer like evening in front of the Hotel Laguna.

Chris was very friendly and personable as we had a common bond.  He is a photographer and uses the same camera as me (Canon 7D). 

The backdrop of our conversation was majestic.  The sun was setting and painting the sky with "amazing' colors.  The warm water was like a swimming pool for Chris' daughter as she was laughing and smiling running in and out of the ocean as the waves were crashing on the shore.

Thanks Chris for being in the precious present and giving us the gift of your time and your story.  Enjoy your weekend in Laguna Beach.
