About Chris…
A Japanese-American military brat that has moved every 3 years of his childhood, Chris adapted to new surroundings, cultures, and areas. Being able to make new friends, embrace the new, and moving forward without looking back is his modus operandi.
Naturally, "fitting in" wasn't possible due to always moving every three years to another state, country and even continent. Punk rock and skateboarding was perfect for him. Being able to express himself, his beliefs, the excitement of danger, and not fearing the consequences played a huge factor in the kind of creative professional he has become: someone always looking to inspire and to be inspired, never having the fear of failure, and always trying to find a new way to a solution.
You know the saying, "don't reinvent the wheel"? Chris will challenge this notion, not because he believes it can be done, but because he believes it will uncover something new.
Sometimes, it's not about the result but the journey taken. The only way to grow is to challenge yourself and Chris lives for the challenge.
So…reinvent the wheel!
