Chris first got into music when he started playing piano at age seven. At eleven, he switched over to saxophone and spent nine years playing alto and tenor saxophone in various marching, concert, and jazz bands. A few years ago, Chris spontaneously got back into piano and keyboards (thanks in large part to Jordan) and now spends his time transcribing, arranging, composing, recording, and performing music. Chris has worked on several books from major publishers, such as the Dream Theater Full Score Anthology and the Dream Theater Keyboard Anthology (Warner Bros.), as well as Total Keyboard Wizardry (Cherry Lane). He has also worked with Jordan on numerous instructional articles for US, German, and Japan Keyboard magazines as well as collaborated with Jordan on the current and future designs of Jordan’s Online Conservatory.
