State/Hometown: Charlotte, NC
 
Favorite place to paddle: Anywhere that puts me close to a quality creek run and playspot that can be hit in the same day
 
Playboat:  Project X 56
 
Creekboat: Diesel 70, 80
 
Favorite Move: The Twisted Nostril and Peeled Eyelid
 
Favorite Music:  Changes with my mood, though I keep it pretty chill
 
Favorite Drop: Seven Foot, Chattooga River with a good flow, nothing beats that boof and beauty in the Southeast

Favorite Rivers:  Chattooga, Green River Narrows, New River, Gauley, California

Other hobbies:  Media and all its medium's -- mom's an artist so I have her to blame ;-)
 
Accomplishments:  2 years of competing in freestyle and races (having made marked improvement from one year to the next);  9 years of introducing and teaching new whitewater paddlers (there's nothing cooler than watching the first timer's)   

Why Chris loves kayaking:  Nothing compares - it's a love affair - and if you get in a fight, the river always wins. This keeps me humble.
