About Me

Chris was born in 1983 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He graduated from his first college, Antonelli Institute in Philadelphia, with an Associates Degree in Commercial Art. Chris then pursued a Bachelors in Marketing at Bloomsburg University but was hired full-time at a Marketing Firm before he graduated due to a successful internship. He plans on finishing that degree in night classes once he gets settled. Chris is now the Account Manager at a marketing firm.

Chris's spark of interest for politics started during the Bush/Kerry elections. He realized the dirty politics of both sides but finds himself holding to the values of the conservative party. He hopes to get involved soon in local campaigning and other political work to be more involved in the political atmosphere.
