In the past, he worked for Arthur Andersen, a global consulting firm, and developed and managed a global distance learning consulting practice.

Christopher is a graduate of the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida, earning his BS in science education and biology and an MS in computer education with an emphasis on instructional technology. He is currently a PhD student at Walden University's College of Management and Technology in leadership and organizational change.
