Chris quickly combined his love of computer programming with his hands-on experience working as a network engineer, and in 1995 took on the additional responsibility of leading the "web consulting team" -- and started developing custom websites and intranets for businesses in Orange, L.A. and San Diego counties.
In his spare time Chris volunteers at the local VFW (Post 1873, Anza), works outside in a futile attempt to keep his property cleared of brush, and enjoys reading, listening to music, cooking, playing with his 160 lb mastiff, "Haus", and spending time with his girlfriend, Kristie.
Chris can be reached at chris@anzavalley.net or by calling (951) 763-1362 x111.
