Farm Infrastructure and Operations

Christopher is the quiet backbone of Bramblewood Stables, the steady presence behind the scenes, the problem-solver, the builder, and the keeper of what needs to hold fast.

Kim and Christopher have known each other since 1988. They met in homeroom on the first day of high school, where he was immediately disarmed by her smile. He graduated 12th in their class, already marked by a combination of discipline, intelligence, and a seriousness about doing things well. After high school, Christopher joined the U.S. Navy, a decision rooted not in escape, but in intention—earning the means to pursue an architecture degree at SCAD.

That path carried him into a formative stretch of life in Savannah, where he managed clubs and DJ’d, learning how to read rooms, handle chaos, and keep things moving under pressure. Those years sharpened instincts that would later prove invaluable far beyond nightlife: logistics, timing, calm decision-making, and the ability to keep systems running when others are spinning.

Christopher eventually returned to Greenville, South Carolina, where he joined Stevens Aerospace and Defense. For the past 18 years, he has worked in aircraft structural repair—an exacting, high-stakes field where precision isn’t optional and mistakes are not survivable. His work demands patience, mastery, and an uncompromising relationship with reality. If it doesn’t hold, it doesn’t fly.

Those same skills quietly anchor the farm.

When Kim traveled to Denver in 2023 to present the story of Bramblewood to a room full of international horsemen, Christopher texted her something simple and revealing: that only one person in his life had ever intimidated him. That person was her. It wasn’t bravado. It was respect—earned through watching her build something against the odds, again and again.

At Bramblewood, Christopher is the fixer of what breaks and the protector of what matters. He repairs fences, equipment, systems, and infrastructure. He shows up without fanfare and stays until the job is done. He carries the weight that allows the work to continue—often unseen, always essential. And yes, in his off time, he repairs Kim too.

Christopher is not a supporting character. He is a partner in the truest sense—someone whose steadiness, loyalty, and competence make the impossible sustainable. The farm stands because of many hands, but it holds because of his.
