Chris’ fascination with writing started as a boy when he could not get the vivid pictures out of his head onto paper because he couldn’t draw. But what he could do is describe what he saw and started writing them down. He enrolled in his first creative writing course where his teacher fostered his imagination and learned about telling stories and was selected for a Gifted and Talented program in creative writing. At University, Chris chose to study Accounting as his practical side won a hard-fought internal battle. But he never lost his love for writing and took writing courses wherever he could. During his time at Newcastle one of Chris’ projects was to write a continuation of Macbeth in Elizabethan English. After graduation his entrepreneurial roots took hold building several start-ups but all the while he would write whenever he could. Chris spent his days as the Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer of a hyper-growth company and then nights writing plays, screen plays and stories. He won several screen writing contests including Best TV Pilot at the Satisfied Eye Film Festival in Surrey. After the sale of his company, on January 31st, 2020, he put his calculator down and picked up his pen and after a thirty-year career, to pursue his writing full time. In September 2020, Chris left New York for Barbados where he penned his debut novel Headcase and published the book March 2022. He has received several five-star reviews and won a gold medal from Literary Titans. Chris never gave up on his desire to be a writer. He credits his desire to bring his stories of overcoming trauma and mental health to the world as his motivating factor that kept him in a relentless pursuit to be a writer. Now he wants to share his good fortune with other young writers helping them on their way to pursing their dreams and bringing out their artist within to share their stories with the world.
