Chris is a long-time resident of Tokyo and is a 'permanent resident'. Growing up in Duluth, Minnesota he was active in musicals, school plays, and community theater along with school and church chorus (and a barbershop quartet). After graduating from the University of Minnesota with majors in philosophy and psychology, he traveled to Tokyo to work, study Japanese, and practice aikido. Chris soon found himself narrating English textbooks and exams for local educational publishers. With top voice-over coaching and many years of voice over experience, he has since established himself as a full-time professional voice talent. In his free time, Chris enjoys traveling, yoga, swimming, and practicing aikido. He is the Chief Instructor at Seidokan Aikido of Tokyo.
