Kris Britton, CEO

I was born and raised in Winston-Salem, NC, where I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. An avid athlete, I spent many hot summer days at my grandmother's house chasing my brother and malecousins around the yard and playing anything that involved a ball and make-shift playing surface. I spent a few high school summers sitting in the sun selling tee shirts for a friend, Maria Byars. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, I served in several capacities with the High Point Police Department. Among my most unique experiences there, I served as an undercover street walker, undercover street level narcotics dealer and elementary school puppet master. When I discovered my passion for working with kids, I developed the department's Youth Academy and settled on working with troubled youth. Ten years and a Masters Degree later (Wake Forest University), I joined the Guilford County School System and started coaching basketball. My team's State Title in 3A Basketball represents one of my proudest affiliations. I still maintain a bond with a group of young ladies whose lives have been shaped by the traditions of family, integrity and discipline, the trifecta of good living (which is also etched inside all of our rings). Lucky Dog Volleyball is my new baby and I work hard to protect it and the people who make it great.  When I'm not working, I'm at home with my wife Murphie, and two sons Bozley & Baxter.  

 We are the bad boys of Lucky Dog!  I am Baxter, the black furball and the youngest pup of the whole Lucky Dog clan.  My big brother is Bozley, the handsome white stud.  Mommy wanted to name us Obama and Trump, but didn't want one of us to be stuck with such a horrible name!  We spend almost every day at the Dog Pound chasing each other around mom's office.  We also chase the pretty Bristol girls up the hall (Pixie and Trixie).  I have a sweet spot for Pixie, but right now she won't give me the time of day.  When I get a little older, I plan to shoot my shot with her!  Mommy says we have to be go-getters in our family.  Some days we get to go for a ride in the Pup Truck to pick up tees.  We love to hang our heads out the window and fight over the prime spot on the driver's lap.  My bro and I also love to play Fight Club along the side of the Dog Pound in a long grassy area.  We wrestle (he wins) and then we come inside for a cool drink and nap.  Life is pretty awesome around the Dog Pound.
