About Me


Everyone in the city calls me by my nickname, TOBIE, but my name is CHRIS, dammit! :) I was born in Chicago IL, grew up as a kid in NY, lived in Windham NH while in high school and ended up in Boston MA ever since -- that's right, I'm the man with no real accent... I'd be a great network news anchor.
For a few years out of college, I was a webmaster or content manager for several dot-com's. When the whole internet thang went bust, I got kinda lazy for a year or two; fixing up my real estate investment portfolio in NH. After a stint at Tweeter, I did some promotions work for Aria and Avalon. That's when I started part-time at Harvard. Now I'm running my very own boutique Real Estate firm here in the city -- I love it and have never been so passionate about anything. I also run a small, private promo and party goup that handles private events and parties at Boston's trendiest hotspots. Because of my hectic schedule, I'm not clubbing that much anymore (unless its for someone's birthday or other special event). I'm not as young as I used to be and actually need sleep now. You'll still find me at lounges, parties and get-togethers around Boston, though. I also hit a circuit party or two each year... just to stay in the game. I've gone clubbing with amazing dear friends in Ibiza, London, Montreal, Orlando, LA, NYC, Rio, San Diego, FLL, etc.
I'm a pretty outgoing guy most days (ADD-ish sometimes) -- but I'm just as likely to be in one of my quiet, contemplative moods... the man of few words. I absolutely love love to travel around the world, meeting new people and do so whenever I can find the time.
While I'm fairly outgoing in most circumstances, I tend be kinda shy one-on-one until I get to know you. I'm a straight-foward guy: no bullshit, double-speak or drama, but polite (mama's boy?). My friends are very important to me and I'm protective of them.

THE END (hehe)
