Biography

Chip & Kim have been married for over 25 years, are raising three children and reside in Coto de Caza, California. They met at a party in the summer of 1978. Kim caught Chip's eye as she was on the dance floor doing "the freak" in her Jordache jeans. When Chip introduced himself to Kim and asked if he could treat her to a drink of her choice, she flatly refused. He was undaunted, however, and kept persisting, finally obtaining her phone number. At first, Kim was not interested in Chip at all, but over time, he managed to change her image of him, especially when she saw him two months later cruising down Crenshaw Boulevard in his brand new royal blue 280Z sports car.

Kim is the owner of an information technology recruiting company. She says that her proudest accomplishment is marrying Chip and having their three children, Elon, Phillip III and Kristen. She says that she and her teammate are soul mates with the same life goals who want the best for each other.

Chip is the owner of a web technology company. Aside from marrying Kim, he said his second biggest accomplishment was finishing college at age 38. He said he most resembles boxer George Foreman, minus his money, and his wife looks like Olympic runner Florence Griffith Joyner!

Chip & Kim say they decided to apply for THE AMAZING RACE 5 because "several of our friends and family members have made calls to us to express their strong feelings as to why we should be on the show. That is why we started watching. Now, THE AMAZING RACE is our favorite show."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Before the Race Interview
When and where did you meet?
Chip: We officially met at a party in the recreation room of the Oakwood Garden Apartments in Marina Del Rey in 1978. I was so spellbound with Kim's beauty that, though she was not overwhelmed with me, I persisted to get her phone numberthen her heart. I saw the diamond in the rough.

If you could describe your relationship in one phrase or sentence, what would it be?
Chip: We praise God that we have one of the most healthy and happy marriages that we know of. By design, Kim and I spend approximately 23 hours a day together. We work, play, exercise, eat, party, sleep, love, laugh, argue, fuss and strategize together. We are soul mates, due to our life priorities.

Have you ever traveled together before? If so, what were the best and worst aspects of traveling together?
Chip: We have traveled together throughout many of the United States, Hawaii included. We have also traveled to Jamaica, Cancun, the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. We love most aspects of traveling together. Since I am a large individual, I am especially uncomfortable sitting in very small coach seats.

Why did you decide to team up for THE AMAZING RACE?
Chip: One of our favorite television shows is THE AMAZING RACE. Also, Kim and I are very competitive. We always aim to win at anything in which we participate. Kim absolutely loves to travel, and I love to compete in athletic competitions. So it was natural for us to want to participate in THE AMAZING RACE.

As you begin the Race, how do you think this experience will affect your relationship?
Chip: Kim and I have absolutely no expectations as far as THE AMAZING RACE affecting our relationship. We know that we have a strong relationship going into it.

What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team?
Chip: I am an ex-athlete (not professional). I can do most athletic things well. I also have good people skills. I am the heart of our Team. I make certain that others are well managed while we win. My weakness is that I may care too deeply for my competitors because they can't win too.

What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team?
Chip: Kim is a fierce competitor: she must win! Kim is also the consummate strategist. She is the brains and passion of our Team. She is unable to discuss anything less than winning it all; she is a winner! Kim's weakness is that she may not consider other competitors' feelings.

These guys are my pick to be eliminated first. Neither seem that fit, or ready to race around the world. Both will be able to drag their team down.

I root for two teams. The Marlins, and anyone who beats the Yankees.

especially Chip. I really don't have a read on Kim though except she may be cutthroat.

I actually think this team will do pretty well because I think that unlike other teams, they'll most likely get along and agree on things.

Hmmm. They are always in the back of the pack for some reason. Tey never was ahead until the very end of the race and even then they fell way behind! I really won't like them if they pick a fight with the Evil Kwins. lol

I like them. They have a good attitude and even though they made mistakes, they were still encouraging toward one another. I hope they make it pretty far.

I like how Chip help the other teams. He seems to be a really nice person. Maybe he didn't want the fight for the taxi to happen.

These two grated me the wrong way in the first couple espisodes, but I feel like they've really improved in the last two. Chip was downright likeable in the last one.
