While studying history at the University of Brussels, Chris decided to enroll at the Royal Military Academy, in order to fully submerge himself in the history of the First World War. After completing all the qualifications, he returned back to his roots: the battlefields of Flanders Fields, where he grew up. Chris knows the story behind every corner, every monument, bunker or crater and has been taking his clients around the area for the past five years.

Chris is actively involved in war heritage conservation, and has offered his services and knowledge to a spectrum of research teams, publishers, and documentary filmmakers. He has initiated numerous visitors to the stories and strategies of the Western Front. He has identified and categorized countless war sites that were soon to be forgotten in time, combining his passion for military history, heritage, and archaeology. He is always prepared to go the extra mile, keen on taking care of his guests and understanding their needs and expectations. When not touring former military sites, Chris is a keen diver, motorcycle enthusiast, and 'beerologist'.
