Having earned his BA at Temple University, Christopher continued to complete two years of advanced coursework in Philosophy at Tulane university. In 2002, Christopher left the world of academics to teach in a school for at risk youth, in the projects of New Orleans.

While working on his formal education, Christopher became a devoted advocate of open source software. He spent his spare time honing his development skills for fun (taught himself PHP by reading Drupal source) and in 2007 he turned these skills to profit.

Christopher has worked on scores of sites representing a broad range of industries including Education, Medical devices manufacturing, Industrial applications and services, Fitness, and Auto parts services and sales.

Christopher's most recent focus is on leveraging search technologies for creating adaptive information architectures and dynamic user experiences. Christopher is highly accomplished at building complex data migrations and implementing third party APIs for social integration, with particular emphasis on e-commerce. He is a student of PHP object oriented design patterns and best practices, and applies these principles for the production of robust and scalable code.

Christopher attended DrupalCon DC and DrupalCon Chicago, and regularly attends local Drupal camps and PHP meet-ups.

Christopher is the father of two children, one profoundly deaf. His interests include cycling, sailing, and science fiction. He retains a deep interest in Philosophy.
