Trained as a lawyer but quickly realizing that it wasn’t much fun- he instead spent his formative years architecting Software as a Service applications for a Dot Com era company and building factory automation systems that to this day make some of the finest chocolate bars in the world. Chris has expertise that spans the Microsoft platform from the new Azure Platform to mainstay enterprise products such as Sharepoint and Dynamics CRM. As a Microsoft Regional Director Chris spends a bunch of time working with the development community around the world and providing their feedback up to Microsoft. In his spare time Chris enjoys adventure sports such as whitewater kayaking, mountain biking and back-country skiing as well as playing records on turntables to throngs of enthusiastic party goers or usually just to the dog.
