Core Team
Spending time in nature sourcing pure food and water gives us the best sustenance. It simultaneously incentivizes us to examine how we can protect and restore the earth’s endless beauty. These fundamentals are what inspires Chris as Executive Director.
In 2014 Chris realized even spring water available for purchase was ultra processed and typically stored in toxic plastic. He started sourcing his own water through a local spring located on Find A Spring and felt an immediate increase in Vitality. He started the Alive Water brand by providing his nearby community with jugs filled by hand. The business has evolved and now delivers fresh living spring water in reusable glass to over 2,000 families and businesses. Alive Water also designs and manufacturers the world’s best objects for collecting, transporting, and enjoying water. A portion of all profits goes directly into funding the Find A Spring Foundation, which he formed in 2020.
Chris strives to live immersed in nature, deepening an ever growing relationship. Growing exotic fruit trees, spearfishing, and of course discovering and collecting from springs are some of his favorite things. He also enjoys learning and teaching about blockchain and crypto-currency technologies. He believes these technologies will provide financial sovereignty and countless other redistributions of power necessary for humans to fully thrive.
