A long-time entrepreneur, Chris has found his passion and stride in building companies that pull from the past.

He began building companies during high school, creating a medical device company that received a US patent, angel funding & VC pitches.

Eventually, Chris found his true passion in New Orleans. He relocated to the French Quarter and partnered with a long time friend to create a branding & digital advertising agency called Idea Kraft NOLA.

After three successful years, Chris moved on to his love of all things vintage & antique, starting Vice & Graft and co-founding Swamp Rags in the French Quarter of New Orleans. More recently, he co-founded the Louisiana Vintage Festival with his wife Megan.

They now live in the French Quarter with their three children, Millie, Tennessee, & Loujon. Chris now uses his digital platform to advocate for all things French Quarter, and to help build successful brands in the best city in the world.
