An avid and accomplished photographer, pilot, and public speaker, Chris is as comfortable in front of a microphone, after 10 years of hosting his own radio show on technology, as he is virtualizing servers.  Chris grew up around aviation and earned his Private Pilots license at just 18. He then continued through his training for his Commercial Instrument before taking his career a different direction. He still takes an interest in flying an currently has approximately 600 hours with time in an enviable number of airplanes from Cessna 150's, Aeronca Champs Grumman Goose to full-motion sim time in 767, 777 and even the new 747-8.
