Chris is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys bicycling, swimming, cross country skiing, canoeing and sailing his 18’ sailboat in the lakes of Wisconsin. Chris feels that his love for nature, the perfect balance of light, structure and color, complements his sense of design. He often brings those elements into play in both the design as well as the materials to be used in the construction.
