Christopher J. Thompkins, Sr. was born and raised in Southwest Philadelphia, PA where he attended St. Carthage Elementary and Roman Catholic High School.  In his free time, he traveled to his favorite after school location, the Christy Community Center.  He quickly realized the stark disparities in the community centers he visited while on the traveling AAU team and wanted to make a difference.  Christopher started volunteering while in high school and enjoyed helping others.  Volunteering his time made him appreciate the importance of giving back to the community. 

Christopher attended Saint Joseph’s University and received a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems.  After graduation, Christopher was hired by Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) as a technical analyst.  He spent 7yrs with the company and departed as an Information Technology Manager.  Christopher is currently employed as a Vice President and Portfolio Manager at JPMorgan Chase and Co.
