Chris tells everyone he came to Tucson to get an education. The truth is that he was searching for warmer weather and an opportunity to lower his handicap. Years later, his golf game has not improved, but he does have a piece of paper that says 'degree' on it.

A native of Bellevue, Wash., Chris spent three years as a sports journalist for the Arizona Daily Star but decided that he'd reached the pinnacle of his career after being cussed out by former Major League All Star Will Clark, before a Diamondbacks spring training game.

Now, he is one of the nation's most highly-touted, up-and-coming copy writers and receives tutelage from LP&G master scribe, Dave Wahl.

Chris earned a bachelor's degree in liberal arts with a minor in journalism from the University of Arizona in 2003. He is an ardent supporter of Notre Dame football, Bellevue High School Wolverines football, Arizona Wildcats lacrosse and the Seattle sports scene.

His hire boosted company testosterone by 25 percent.
