Kind and affectionate, Khris's sunny smile and friendly demeanor leave a lasting impression on everyone he meets. Khris is truly a people person - he makes great connections with those in his life. He loves to spend time with his friends, the fellow members of his boy scout troop, his youth group at church, and the adults in his life. With a kid as outgoing and social as Khris, it's no surprise that he was ready to dive head first into creating his own In-Depth Profile to introduce himself to potential families.
Spend any amount of time talking with Khris, and it won't be long before one of his favorite topics comes up: superheroes! From Marvel, to DC, to Power Rangers, Khris loves to immerse himself in these fantastic worlds. If Khris could have any super power of his own, he'd want to be able to use lightning like one of his most favorite super heroes, Thor. Halloween is an especially fun time of year for Khris, who loves to be able to dress up like all his favorite characters. Not to mention Khris's love for candy!

Besides his obvious love for super hero flicks, Khris also loves action movies or anything having to do with sports. The Last Dragon with Bruce Leroy and The Mighty Ducks rank high on Khris's list of his all-time favorite movies.
