About Me
I’m Chris. IT Executive, Engineer & more with over 20 years of experience.
My Story
I fell in love with technology when I got my first Nintendo. From that first experience, I started taking things apart to learn how they worked and sometimes failed to put them back together. I’ve come a long way since those formative experiences – to this day I look for ways to improve what I work on.

Love technology
