Now living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Chris grew up in the shadow of the Big Apple, in the small town of Oyster Bay on the north shore of Long Island. After graduating from the Manhattan School of Music with a Masters Degree in Voice, he moved to Boston. There he sang for four seasons with the Opera Company of Boston and its touring branch, Opera New England. Eventually, he wandered over to the Musical Theatre and has never looked back. An active "working actor" Chris has performed in forty-one of the fifty United States and ten European countries. While primarily a musical theatre performer, he is equally at home on the Musical Theatre, Straight Theatre, Concert and Operatic stages.
