Holy Smokes started with a simple idea: get good men in a room, light something, and have a real conversation. It's grown into a global community with thousands of members, and one of the most meaningful things Chris is a part of. Chris co-leads the Bay Area chapter with Todd Weinberg, gathering bi-monthly in the Danville/Alamo/Diablo area. Events bring together men from all backgrounds and stages of faith - entrepreneurs, executives, dads, neighbors - united by a desire for something more than surface-level connection. Speakers are typically business or ministry leaders who share real stories about faith, leadership, courage, and the work of trying to live with integrity in today's world. No pretense. No pressure. Just brotherhood, good stories, aged whisky, and the occasional Cuban. If you're a man in the East Bay looking for your people, come find us.
