Personal Bio
Hello. My name is Chris. I live in San Francisco. I grew up in Rochester, NY and spent the summers on the beach in Charleston, SC. In the summer of 2007, I accepted a position with Google to work at YouTube, and moved to California. I recently left YouTube, wandered aimlessly for a bit, and then landed at Canv.as. In my spare time, you will find me mountain biking, snowboarding, climbing, or coding.
