Chris Tringali is the youngest of five children. His father was a chiropractor and high school teacher on Long Island and was well known in the community around Central Islip.

The three oldest kids were successes as well, but Chris and his brother Matt struggled. In high school, Chris turned to drugs and ran away from home a few times. He got married young and it was another struggle. He hated the work he was doing in construction.

In order to get his life in order, Chris became devoutly Christian and entered a couple of different drug abuse recovery programs. And then he happened to befriend a man who owned a private investigations firm, who offered him a job. Although Chris had no background in law enforcement, he quickly became adept at the PI work, doing investigations for insurance cases.
