Creation, precise execution, and style are at core of Chris’ personality and appearance.  Chris began drawing at the age of five, and subsequently developed his sense of aesthetic and style.  He designed clothes for his friends and even sewed his own suit for his high school graduation!  His interest led him to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.  No longer as involved in the fashion industry as he once was, Chris still views presentation and style as major components in his life from his Alexander McQueen to ensuring that his cocktails are creative and executed to perfection.

BIGGEST INFLUENCE  //  Japanese and European bartenders who are focused on the craft and execution of drinks

FUN FACT  //  Has a werewolf tattoo on his pointer finger.  Considers himself to be somewhat like a werewolf – his mood fluctuates with the moon

PASSIONS  //  Snowboarding, drawing, and fashion design

"I LOVE THE BOUTIQUE, SMALL FAMILY FEEL OF THE BRAND AND HOW NATURAL AND CLEAN IT IS.”
