Chris Bennett was born at Mercy Hospital, grew up in Miami, graduated from Coral Reef Senior High, and then put South Florida in the rear view mirror.
Bennett always had the entrepreneurial bug — starting companies in middle and high school as well as at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, where he majored in economics.
