Get to Know Christopher
My fondest TFC memory was performing a sublime concert of Bach and Brahms followed by song from the Beer Hymnal and closing the concert with a beer in my hand!
My life's motto is "Life is good."
I'm passionate about Pickleball!
The song I could listen to on repeat is "Beyond Belief" by Elvis Costello, because It's a totally unique pop/rock tune with great textures and is a bit wild.
If I could only eat three meals for the rest of my life, they would be pizza, southern breakfast special (bacon, eggs and biscuits), and tikka masala.
All Creatures Great and Small is one of my favorite TV shows because The simplicity and earnestness of the show are a wonderful break from the busy world we live in.
