Christopher Van Jura

Father Bill Van Jura was an executive in the Print Industry and mother Kathleen was an educator. As parents they have and continue to push him towards success instilling in him at an early age the benefits of hard work and a positive mind. With two older brothers and a younger sister in the house, it was a constant struggle to be heard and Chris certainly tried his hardest. As his aunt's and uncles like to remind him, at an early age he would perform his "shows" at family gatherings -- to stellar reviews. Constantly active, Chris participated in 3 sports until he graduated High School, earning varsity letters in Football, Baseball and Wrestling at Hasbrouck Heights High School (2000). When he was accepted to Western Connecticut State University he had dreams of playing college football, but before he could even get to school that dream was taken away.
