About

My name is Chris and I live in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

In my professional life, I work for Arizona State University. In my private life, I enjoy traveling (particularly to Europe) and spending time with my family. I also like craft beer, reading about sports, history and geography, and building websites.

I cheer for Borussia Dortmund, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Arizona State Sun Devils.
