Chris has spent the last 13 years working at Intel and has been passionate about PCs and gaming since he was a kid. That early interest eventually grew into a lifelong connection to the gaming community. More than 10 years ago, Chris joined LANFest, where he has worn many hats and contributed in a variety of leadership roles throughout his tenure. His experience includes serving as Chapter Admin for both the Austin and Northwest chapters, as well as being elected to the board multiple times.

Through LANFest, Chris has helped support the organization’s mission of building welcoming, community-driven gaming experiences. He has also been involved with DreamHack, where he has continued to learn, connect, and gain valuable insight into the broader gaming and event space. His dedication to gaming, community-building, and creating positive experiences for others has played an important role in helping LANFest grow and evolve into its next chapter.

Chris is based in Southwest Washington, where he enjoys balancing his time between screen time and the outdoors. He lives with his wife, Nicole, and their three Great Danes, who keep life busy, fun, and full of personality.
