He attended Brookview Elementary School, then attended Sandalwood Jr. Sr. Hi, graduating in June 1978. At the age of 9, Chris was introduced to the game of golf by his retired grandfather Howard Wendell Pinner, caddying for him at a "par three" golf course in Jacksonville Fl. This was his introduction to the game. Borrowing his fathers clubs, Chris began taking up the game and playing every chance he could. His father Franklin D. Warner, filmed his swings with an 8mm camera, then helped by sitting and analyzing the swings in an effort to critique and refine them. This was followed by reading numerous instructional books and watching hundreds of videos on the game. Chris believed then, and still does, that the learning process never ends. Chris played on the Hi school golf team and shot even par at the age of 14 at the Dunes Golf Club. He continued working on his game but didn't pursue it at the time as a professional career. In 1982, he was married, then in 1983, he was the proud father of a daughter, Jessica Naomi Warner. In 1985, a son came into the picture, Jason Christopher Warner. Although Chris worked several jobs during this time, he remained very active in golf. In 1986, 1987 and 1988, Chris marshaled the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. He purchased the National Heart Association annual cards along with a couple buddies, allowing him to play numerous golf courses around the state of Florida at no cost. Throughout all of this, he taught a lot of people to play the game in an effort to have companionship and playing partners. In 1990, he experienced a divorce and took a job as a Greyhound driver. Later that same year, he met and married another Greyhound driver named Trish. He worked full time with the company as a driver and trainer, and in his spare time, he taught night school classes at FCCJ and on the course during the daytime.

He moved to Houston Texas where he accepted a job with Continental Airlines as a ramp agent, working with aircraft and baggage. During this time, he never stopped playing the game but was submerged in his work, leaving little time to pursue what he really loved, (golf). Chris worked his way up with Continental Airlines, eventually accepting a position as Hub Manager. During that time, he gave hundreds of golf lessons in his spare time. He also went through qualifying school with the Canadian PGA Tour in Vancouver Canada. During this grueling task, he realized that his true calling was not in competitive golf but in teaching.
