Chris is an award-winning copywriter and screenwriter who has spent the last decade trying to marry comedy with heart. Originally from Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chris has spent time in Atlanta, Boulder, San Francisco, and NYC writing everything from national TV spots for the world's biggest brands to tweets for some of the world's smallest. He helped craft a celebrity-packed campaign for Sprint (with Judy Greer, Andrew Dice Clay, Kyle Mooney, directed by Stacy Wall) as well as work for Skype, Macy’s, Virgin Atlantic and AC Hotels. He’s written series for web and television, as well as comedy shorts. A veteran of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Pereira & O’Dell, and Figliulo&Partners, Chris believes strongly in puns, innuendos, call backs, sleight of hands, the long pause, the long con, and strong female leads.
