Author's Story
A first-generation American, Chris has flown helicopters for the United States Army in Korea, Europe, and throughout the Middle East. Since then he has built a house for his family, recorded music that didn’t sell very well, gone fishing with friends that are still friends, and tried a whole lot of other endeavors that didn’t always come out as planned. In fact, Iudicium, his opera that was performed in Bulgaria at the Golden Diana Festival during the spring of 2025, was supposed to be a musical.
Chris lives with his wonderful family in the greatest country in the world.
