Brief Author Bio:

Born in scenic Long Island, Chris went to public school until high school, where he attend St. Anthony's High School in Huntington, NY. He went to Alfred University (in Alfred, NY) for his undergraduate degree, where he met his future wife Beth (loxosceles) and got a degree in Math and Computer Science with a minor in philosophy. He then attended Lehigh University (in Bethlehem, PA) where he got a Master of Arts degree in Mathematics.

He spent nearly a year unemployed, doing odd jobs like working at Kaplan to help pay the bills until he could find a real job. As luck would have it, he met someone through a GMAT course he was teaching at Kaplan which led him to interview at, and get hired by, a company which makes solar powered road-side LED message boards, which is where he's worked until this day.

About a year after finding that job, he and Beth got married, and he moved up to Ithaca, NY, where Beth had a job in a biology lab doing bioinformatics. Eventually she left that job to do freelance writing, and the two of them, now free of geographical constraints, past need to be in vague driving distance of his employer, decided to move to Beth's home town of Pittsburgh. Half a year later, they had their first child, Ajax, a month before NaNoWriMo 2009. Sometimes he sleeps while we write, and sometimes we take turns holding him while the other one writes.
