Experience
A clandestine geek from an early age, Chris began his career in the media with a mixture of luck and enthusiasm.

For the past decade, he's increasingly focused on automotive, using his front-row seat in the industry to help readers understand how electrification and autonomous driving will change their experience of transportation.
