Additionally, he is an avid advocate for marginalized groups in his community, and works with his church to bring awareness and compassion to these people.

In his spare time, Dr. C is very active and loves playing soccer, running, walking his dog Ellie, and riding horses. A family man at heart, he most enjoys spending quality time traveling with his four adult children and his wife of 33 years, Cheryl.
