Besides work

Chris grew up in the mountains of New Hampshire, where he developed a love for snow and ski racing, but also a desire to see the world – which eventually led him to Spain and then to China, where he lived and worked for over a decade.   Chris now lives in Winchester with his lovely wife, two school age boys, a black lab, and a wizened street cat that followed him home all the way from Beijing.
