b. Sacramento, California

Secret, super hero power? < --------- censored --------- >

Briefly:

Publishing voraciously since 1998, Kris' diverse talent and unique balance of aesthetics and technology is well-known throughout the Interwebs. After launching and managing successful online startups in San Francisco, Kris returned to Vancouver - where he'd attended college studying philosophy and communications - to apply his knowledge as President of Drupal hosting pioneer, Bryght.

As well known for his unique, ultra-personal photographic style as for his business acumen, KK is in demand as a speaker about social media, the future of entertainment and public relations, and growing businesses across borders. Alas, he is often busy shooting models and rockstars so he can't make it to *all* the events, but if you are quick enough, you might catch him before he jets off to another country, another gig, or another deal as President of Raincity Studios ...
