He was proud to have completed his 1st 5- mile walk-run with his father and brother recently. He said he likes being a big brother to his little sister “who don’t listen.”

Dad, Chris Herbert, Sr., is proud to have mastered the Tough Mudder 10-12 mile obstacle courses earlier this year which tested his all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie.  It was tough he said, but he conquered it!  Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the world.  His wife, Denise and children & a few friends were there to cheer him on!
