My Story

Cris started Pole Dancing 8 years ago in the Strip Club.  He learned about Pole Fitness and Pole Sport and fell in love.  For a couple years he taught himself with Youtube videos.  He picked up many bad habits along the way and suffered many injuries.   

 

After taking a break for a bout a year and a half due to his diagnosis of HIV;  he put his home pole back up and started practicing again.  He found The Pole in the Wall Online and started attending online classes.  They offered him a Pole Scholarship which he used to get XPERT Pole Certified for Level 1 & 2 and Level 3 & 4 Certification.  Since this, Pole dancing has opened so many incredible doors including  training and competing in multiple Pole Competitions and more.  He has been coached by Maendy Mac, Jamie Wong , Fran of BodybyFran and more beautiful and inspiring Pole Coaches. 

 

Cris is Co-Host of Pole on the Call Podcast which  interviews Pole dancers from all over the world, and held the First Super Pole Commercial break; promoting Pole Businesses all over. He  has also  been a guest judge for The Pole Circus International Competition.  

​

On his spare time he teaches Yoga and Personal Fitness.  He also Podcasts  about Living with HIV and  Vlogs on Tips to help start Your own Online Business.  He also enjoys spending time and traveling  with his husband, step children and fur babies.
