Hello,
I'm Chris and if you got this far you already know what I do. But just in case, I am a Bradley University Grad, and this is my portfolio. Years of schooling and a life-long interest in movies, tv, and video making have left me with a degree in Multimedia and the desire to make art. Whether this is through my editing, graphics production, or writing a script I am always striving to top myself and my expectations, as any of my past colleagues will attest to.
You can see my resume below, and most of the many projects I have worked on on the front page.
If you have any questions, comments, or anything send me a message through the contact page. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the site.
-Chris
