About Christopher

With a preference toward the darker side of storytelling, I work on tales of betrayal, existential grief, and isolation. Even with a little manipulation of the laws of physics or the nature of spacetime.

I received my BFA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College with a BFA with a focus on screenwriting (which was not available as a minor at the time). I held a development internship at Misher Films during my final year and greatly value the experience.

In the years since I dove into the hospitality industry, becoming a buyer at several beer bars in Boston. Throw me a great beer and you've got me.

That time away from the industry molded a focused perspective and allowed me to develop my writing on my own terms. Definitely established a keen cynic's eye for character interaction.

I develop and design board games in my free time as well. Like screenwriting, it's all about figuring out the puzzle to best relay an experience.

Unique traits: Blending scientific discoveries into character-driven, thematic stories. I also can crush a jigsaw puzzle in a few hours.
