Chris was born and raised in and around New Haven. After graduating from Xavier High School in Middletown, he earned his bachelor’s degree at Boston College. He returned home and worked as a sports writer for the Harbor News and Valley Courier newspapers. Desiring to leave the northeast for at least a little while, Chris moved to Milwaukee and attended Marquette University Law School. As much as he enjoyed the Brew City and its many brews, Chris returned home once again to practice law in Connecticut.
