About Christian Chance
Christian was born and raised in Newport News, Virginia, but has lived in the Shenandoah Valley, Richmond, Norfolk and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. One day he would like to live on the rocky coast of Central California, where the surf is plentiful. He is particularly interested in Latin American culture, which led him to major in Spanish at Old Dominion University. He is happiest when he is creating things with his hands, and he is slightly obsessed with music. So his idea of a perfect day would be creating something interesting in the metal shop with his ear buds in, listening to good music.
