Chris made life delicious. A gradute of the Culinary Institute of America (2000), he had the rare gift of turning whatever was in the pantry into a meal that felt like magic. But his artistry went far beyond the kitchen. Chris designed, built, landscaped and turned gardens and yards into works of art. If something was broken he'd fix it. If it didnt exist he created it. When holloween rolled around he transformed his front yard into a wonderland that the neighbors looked forwatd to all year.
