“Working with Christopher is wonderful! He is dependable, extremely knowledgeable, and has great solutions for my concepts. When it’s time to deliver, the durability and craftsmanship are excellent.”
“Christopher was an absolute pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to help us with a project we had going on here in New Zealand. He even managed to stay in contact during my business hours, despite the time difference! His knack for problem solving skills and insanely amazing creativity during the design process, really helped bring the idea to life.”
“Thank you so much for your hard work and effort on the periscope for our History in Motion project. Working with you was a very pleasant experience. The final product was everything we envisioned and the craftsmanship was impeccable. You were easy to communicate with and made sure to find clarity on our ideas. I was very impressed with your ability to meet a challenging deadline as well as stay on budget.”

You may know of Christopher from his recent work at the Columbus Museum of Art, or you may have seen the massive collaborative artwork installation he did in Portland Maine. Or perhaps you have seen one of his Kuglebahn ball machine sculptures while touring the Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA. It's also possible that you've interacted with one of his museum exhibits that can be found all over the country and around the world in far away places like Hong Kong and Egypt. Maybe you knew him as an artist or from his days attending Virginia Commonwealth University or as a graduate student and lecturer at The Ohio State University where he received his Masters in Fine Art. You may know him from back in the day when he was an avid skateboarder running Frequency Skateboards while he was busy building skateboard parks for the community.
