As the son of a Navy Officer, Chris spent much of his youth traveling and residing in many cities and countries all around the globe. As a result, Chris developed a keen interest in the differing architecture of homes, specifically the relationship between form and function. After earning a degree in philosophy and prior to beginning his career in real estate, Chris spent many years working in, on and around homes. Whether it was installing roofing, siding, moldings and flooring or working with horticulturists and landscape architects to design both hardscape and softscape for a property, Chris did it all. Eventually Chris decided to combine his knowledge of design and construction with both his project management and strong interpersonal skills to expertly guide people through each and every aspect of renting, selling and buying property. Being able to identify quality craftsmanship, possible pitfalls and renovation possibilities, gives Chris a unique edge in this business. A Massachusetts resident since 2000, Chris settled in Newton in 2010 where he still resides with his wife and two children. When Chris finds a free moment he enjoys fly fishing, hiking, snowboarding, chess and reading.
