Chris graduated from Randolph Community College with an Associates in Science/Commercial Photography degree in 1998. An Air Force brat; Chris grew up living in England, Germany and New Mexico before the family settled down in New Hampshire. While there, he grew to love hiking, camping and snow skiing in and around the White Mountains and he always had a camera in tow. That love of photography led him to North Carolina to study at the famed RCC Photography school in Asheboro.

Nowadays, you can find Chris spending his down time outdoors with his wife, Laura and daughter, River and their two sweet dogs.

Bonus Fact: Chris owns a HUGE collection of National Geographic magazines dating back decades.
