I’m Chris and this is my website. I’m a former west coast elitist tech bro who is now a happy red blooded, middle-American who enjoys life in a small, affordable Midwest city that has a terrible reputation everywhere you go, including here! The funny thing is, St. Louis has everything to offer that many folks like me (read: socially mobile privileged people) demand the places we live!

Before I decided to spill my guts on the internet about this city, I worked at Block (f/k/a/ Square) in operational leadership roles for both its merchant and consumer business units. After nearly a decade, I decided to step away to welcome my second child and explore more of what my adopted city has to offer everyone.
