About Chris
From Injury to Innovation
After dedicating years to Fire and EMS, an on-duty gunshot wound severed my ulnar nerve at the elbow — causing permanent intrinsic muscle loss and loss of hand function.
​
The injury forced an abrupt end to my career and initiated a deeper unraveling — of identity, direction, and belief.
​
But in that disruption, something unexpected emerged.
Not just recovery — but purpose.
Founder Story
Through faith, reflection, and reconstruction, I began to understand that the same experience that altered my life could equip me to help others facing similar challenges.
​
My book, Scars with Purpose, chronicles that journey.
BRIDGEFLEX was born from the practical realities of that injury. I designed a device to address the exact functional limitations I experienced — impaired finger abduction, instability of the fifth digit, and difficulty maintaining a functional hand position.
​
What began as personal necessity became a tool now helping individuals worldwide restore stability, control, and independence.
