Chris Washburn: Works For A Home Mortgage Company

Chris Washburn joined the Golden State Warriors as a third selection in the 1986 NBA draft. Unfortunately, after he failed three drug tests within three years, he was barred from the league for life. Needless to say, this ended his career in basketball, but he later made a decision to improve in 2000 and cleaned himself up. He and his girlfriend started a fried chicken business around this time, and although that only lasted a year, Washburn is now employed at a home mortgage firm.
