Chris grew up in Cushing, Oklahoma, attending Harding Grade School and graduating from Cushing HS in 1973.  In high school Chris worked in the audio/visual department and was active in the competitive speech and drama program.  Because of his quick, and often sarcastic wit, speech teacher, Gary West, labeled Chris, "King of the One Liners".

Chris loved music and was a self-taught musician and singer.  He played guitar, bass and keyboard, as well as being adept at repairing all types of instruments and tube amplifiers.  After high school Chris pursued his dream of a career in the music industry, living on both coasts and spending almost 20 years in San Francisco.

Twenty-nine years after falling in love with his high school sweetheart, Bonnie Brown, they reconnected and married November 13 ^th 1999.
