Who is Chris?
I’m very fortunate to have learned from exceptional teachers that I’ve met along life’s way. I’ve enjoyed decades of study with them as a student, family student and friend. I love teaching. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do. I’ve taught for thirty years, and care deeply about my students.
