Well, hello!!!
The basics of me are:
- Owner of a digital marketing agency called PurpleCRM, focusing on integrated web/social/CRM/marketing automation to drive business (morphed from long time Customer Relationship Management firm called Customer Systems).
- Have a wonderful wife, 3 awesome kids #theweelees and 2 German Shepherds everybody seems to love. :)
- Former Phoenician (Arizona) new to Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
- Big focus on longevity & #healthspan. Always paying attention to Peter Attia, MD, #kneesovertoesguy among others.
- Newb rock climber. Mostly indoor kind…
- Obsessed with great food and drink though that’s morphed a bit due to healthspan focus. Grew up as a restaurant kid in my dad’s epic place, The Glass Door. Did a presentation at Ignite Phoenix 5 on it & compiled a bunch of resources and my favorite spots at phxnom.com. Organized Ignite Food, a food flavored version of Ignite Phoenix. Also presented at Ignite Phoenix 19 about making epic craft cocktails at home.
- Also big fan of SUP (stand up paddling). I’ve been an ocean freak forever. Paddled outrigger canoe when I lived in Hawaii and many of my favorite memories are in the canoe. Started SUP with family in Arizona. Talked about it at AZ SUP. Did a presentation on it at Ignite Phoenix 11. Now paddle with family up at Low Head, Tasmania.
- Volleyball fan. Played indoor in school & after, went completely beach when I lived in Huntington Beach, CA. Had a couple knee surgeries and still trying to get them back to playing shape.
- Huge Suns fan, huge Cardinals fan.
- #abundancementality #enough #healthspan
I also have a passion for new media and the #phx community. I organized Twestival Phoenix (@TwestivalPhx), Ignite Food (@IgniteFood) and helped with PodCamp AZ (@PodCampAZ). I was a board member of the Phoenix Innovation Foundation and a devoted Gangplanker. Huge fan of @IgnitePhoenix, @SMCPhoenix and @YelpAZ.
I am looking forward to getting more involved with the Tassie community here!
I often talk about healthspan, COVID, rock climbing, food and my kids with some SUP and rock climbing thrown in and lately too little Suns and Cardinals (though I have hope).
I’m always looking to connect with folks who are looking to connect. If you’re from #phx or #tassie or you are just looking to connect, hit me up.

Chris’s bookshelf: read
Really enjoyed this book. Have a pastor who is doing great things that mentioned this. Love the philosophy behind it and the detail and examples shared. Think it has great lessons beyond religion as well.
Not a lot of detail on the mechanics though maybe there is not much needed for most of his plan. Guessing his other books go into more specifics on investing. Good stuff though. We’ve done some of this already & will look to do more.
Important book for me in helping discover the power of vulnerability.
