There are simply too many positive things to say about Chris Van Etten to fit in this short intro, but what we will say is that his drive & motivation to move beyond his injuries & inspire others is infectious & invigorating. In 2012, while on patrol as a Marine in Afghanistan, Van Etten stepped on an IED. The blast took both of his legs as well as the life of his best friend. The accident took its toll both physically & mentally on Chris. Unsure where his drastically changed life was headed, Van Etten started working out religiously to clear his head. The physique he attained eventually landed him as an underwear model with Jockey\u2019s inspirational \u201cShow \u2019Em What\u2019s Underneath\u201d campaign. And a desire to pursue projects that help motivate & inspire others has driven Van Etten toward acting, where he currently plays \u201cChet\u201d \u2013 also an injured vet \u2013 on ABC\u2019s daytime drama, \u201cGeneral Hospital.\u201d Van Etten also continues to work as a motivational speaker, and if this episode of \u201cHazard Ground\u201d doesn\u2019t inspire you, we\u2019re pretty sure nothing will.
