Here is a brief taste of Chris’s personality:
What is usually playing in your headphones?
Portland’s best — Aminé and Esperanza Spalding — are always first for me.
Besides them, I listen to a lot of rap and reggaeton: Dano, Aesop Rock, C. Tangana, JID, Rosalía, Bad Bunny, and Little Simz are some favorites.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
For a long time, I wanted to be an archaeologist. It wasn’t just because of the Indiana Jones movies, either!
I fell in love with the idea of literally digging into the past ways that others used to live. I still have a persisting love of history.
What are you happiest doing, when you are not working?
Nothing makes me happier than a breath of fresh forest air. I think I’d die without regular exposure to nature, but I’ll never test that hypothesis. On any given weekend, I go for a hike.
Whether it’s with a large group or by myself, I love walking through a beautiful landscape and sitting in the shade of tall trees.
What is your hidden talent?
I’m a great baker. I’m not incredible at decorating, though, so not everything I make turns out as pretty as I’d like, but it almost always tastes amazing.
What is one of your favourite quotes?
“If our brains were simple enough to be understood, we wouldn’t be smart enough to understand them.”
– David Eagleman, neuroscientist and bestselling author
