Chris McKim enters his second season as the head coach of the Siena Heights University men's volleyball program. During his first season, McKim led the Saints to an 11-7 overall record and a 7-5 mark in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC). The team also earned a berth to the WHAC men's volleyball tournament as a three-seed.

McKim coached NAIA All-America honorable mention and WHAC Libero of the Year Joudiel Poveymirow as well as WHAC Setter of the Year Keegan Crawford. The former made his collegiate debut for the Saints during the 2021 season; the latter finished his career at SHU with 4,047 assists, the most in the program's history. 

In 2019, McKim's first season at Graceland University, the Yellowjackets upset the 7^th ranked team in the nation on their way to becoming the most improved team in the country. The 2020 campaign closed early due to COVID, but McKim's Yellowjackets still matched a program record of 6 conference wins.  

Prior to coming to Graceland, McKim spent four seasons as the Assistant Coach for the men's and women's volleyball teams at Siena Heights University under Head Coach Kim Berrington. The 2018 men's volleyball team finished 19-7, a school record, that included a win over the 5^th ranked team in the nation. The 2017 women's team finished 25-7, a school record, with three regular-season tournament wins at Concordia, Siena Heights, and Aquinas-Cornerstone. Earlier in the spring of 2017, the men's team finished 16-11 after beating a top-ten ranked team for the first time in school history. In 2016, the women's team posted a solid record of 21-12.  

Prior to collegiate coaching, McKim taught History at Nogales High School in Arizona. 

McKim earned his BA from Grove City College and MA from Siena Heights University. In addition, McKim is a proud graduate of North Allegheny High School, the defending Pennsylvania State Champions in both boys' and girls' volleyball.
