The Down-to-Earth who he really is Version

Chris likes to build software. He doesn’t have a degree in computer science so he isn’t into theory; he’s hands on and practical.  He does have a degree in Management Information Systems from SIU-Edwardsville.  He understands software’s role in business and how IT can have positive impact on the business’ mission. In his early 20’s Chris was diagnosed with cancer and spent several years battling some pesky tumors and ultimately won.  He has been cancer free since August of 2000.  His battle with cancer taught him a lot about life and who he is. Chris is married to his best-friend and has two wonderful children who work to keep him balanced.  He loves spending time with his family and watching his kids learn about the world around them. When the kids are sleeping you can find Chris on Xbox Live.  Should you encounter Chris in the office he is probably wearing his headphones and jamming to tunes on his Zune HD.
