Chris founded RocketStar in 2014 to help bring earthbound industries to space through the ubiquitous use of reusable single-stage-to-orbit technology and RocketStar’s revolutionary patent-pending Aerospike engine.

Under Chris’s leadership, RocketStar developed their breakthrough rocket, a standardized, low-cost, reusable launch vehicle that revolutionized the future of space travel by providing routine and affordable access to space.

Chris has had numerous articles on space travel and affordable access to orbit published by the Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC), and spoken on physics, rockets, and the aerospace industry to The Society of Physics Students at Stony Brook University. Notably, while at Stony Brook University, Christopher worked on The PHENIX Project, which succeeded in verifying the 4th state of matter; this was the first time the theoretical phase was confirmed in a real world setting.

Prior to RocketStar, Chris spent 15 years on Wall Street, most recently as the owner of CC Trading Company, LLC. Chris graduated from Stony Brook University with a bachelor’s degree in Physics.
