Personal History
Chris was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons--in particular ones with superheroes--and working on his own comics as a writer and artist. After encountering Konami's X-Men arcade game in 1992, he became enamored with the X-Men and began actively collecting comics. After meeting Paul Ryan and Larry Hama at two separate store signings, Chris realized he was a better writer than an artist and focused his efforts on developing that particular skill.
His big break came in 2006 when he joined the Comicbook Artists Guild: a networking organization designed to help new creators break in by having them network with veteran creator members. Not only did they publish his first professional work in their annual showcase anthology, CAG Anthology, but fellow member and former Marvel scribe Robert J. Sodaro extended an invitation to join the revived Official Index of the Marvel Universe team. He also provided some freelance work for other places, and had a brief tenure as the first Editor-in-Chief of Guild Works Publications--a publishing concern started by two formerly high-ranking members of CAG.Professional History
