Originally from the New York metro area, Chris used his bike to get where he wanted to go - to school, friends' houses, and baseball games. In high school, he commuted by bike, the commuter rail, and the subway. These moments formed the feelings of independence and self-sufficiency that launched his passions at Colorado College. There, he completed a Bikeability Analysis and wrote for a local bulletin, advocating for better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. He studied forest fire regeneration and was a Bike Ambassador for the local bike nonprofit, while also helping with the college’s Office of Sustainability.

Chris brings a range of experience and interest rooted in urban-social issues, many gleaned from his studies in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Seville, Spain. Now, Chris is thrilled to be advocating for cyclists in the Newport area and beyond.
