Chris graduated from the University of Arizona in 2002 with a degree in Management Information Systems and minored in Chinese and Computer Science. After graduating, he joined IBM Software and worked on several enterprise J2EE applications. After five years, several certifications, and a couple of patents later, he jumped on the Rails bandwagon and joined Squeejee, a Texas-based Rails consulting company, where he worked from design to development to deployment on several startups. Having being bit by the startup bug himself, he's currently working on this own project.
