Game 4 P.E.A.C.E alumnus Christopher Lumpkins, born in West Chester, Pennsylvania is a true soldier of the community. Growing up in the streets of Philly until he was 10, then moving to Coatesville, PA, Chris graduated from Coatesville Area Senior High in ’85 and went on to serve 22 years in the U.S. Army, 10 years active duty, and 12 years in the reserves as an Army ranger. During his service, he hit the books at Delaware State University, earning a degree in business management and a minor in accounting. Now, he’s deep into his studies at Deeper Bible College, chasing a degree in Biblical Studies. He is the brother of G4P Philly Co-Executive Director, Mizz Gabrielle Nicole.

Chris is a real OG in the community, putting in work with the youth for decades and earning that Lifetime Achievement Award. In Coatesville and Chester County, he’s a powerful role model, showing what it means to rise above and give back. His journey took him through the Devereux Foundation as a behavioral manager and trainer, and in 2014, he leveled up, starting his own company, Lumpkins Security Specialist. This ain’t just any security firm; Chris developed a training guide focused on de-escalation skills and non-physical tactics, keeping the peace without breaking it.

He’s rolled with big names like Joey Greco from *Cheaters*, Walt Anderson of Kool and the Gang, and motivational speaker Dr. Cindy Trimm. But Chris’s heart stays in the community, providing free services to grassroots organizations, embodying that community-oriented approach.

The work Chris does is crucial. By instilling qualities of resilience, leadership, and empathy, he’s helping to build a society that’s emotionally healthy and intelligent. These qualities are the bedrock of a strong community, and Chris knows it. He’s out there every day, leading by example, showing the youth that there’s a way to rise above and make a real difference.
