The Logophile
We might have selected the more commonly used nickname “Bibliophile”; however, it would hardly reflect the breadth of Chris’s interests. Chris is most certainly a lover of books, but his love of words and how they can be used is where Chris really dives in. His experiences range from serving as a debate coach for student-athletes in the humanities to editing audio books at the American Printing House for the Blind. He is an author of short stories and one novel, and yes, he was once the Employee of the Month at Borders bookstore. In all of his endeavors, Chris is driven by the belief that effective communication is vital to every aspect of our lives. This dedication to the power of words seems to drive his remarkable ability to listen, and—lucky for those who work with him—his talent for cracking jokes.

Outside of work, Chris’s passion is supporting the arts in his local community. He has volunteered for a variety of causes to advance literacy and accessibility in the arts, most recently as an audio description specialist for visually impaired theatre guests. On any given weekend, you will most likely find Chris spending quality time with his fiancée Cassandra and cat River, or cycling, reading a book, and working on writing projects.
