Chris first discovered he had a “talent” for art from his kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Filburn.
At his eighth grade graduation, it was predicted that he would someday be teaching the
“fundaments of scribbling” to kindergarteners. They could not have been more right.

by drafting set designs for local theaters. He lives near Columbus, Ohio with his wife
and two talented children.
