In a life that has included stints as a psych-undergrad, disc jockey, foreign ESL teacher in Korea, restaurant server, and software peddler, Kris’ background is ‘quilted’. Kris is addicted to talk radio—a long-time-listener-first-time-caller. He runs in traffic and marathons. His main pastime is playing with pots and pans and practicing parkour in the kitchen with daughter, Franky, and son Fox.
