I was born in New York City and raised in a nearby suburb; my parents still live in my childhood home. My dad is from Norway and I grew up speaking Norwegian. I also speak Spanish, which I learned while living in Spain and working in Latin America.

I am a Harvard-trained lawyer and a psychotherapist. I have my own family mediation practice, where I help people solve their problems and enable them to put the needs of their children first without going to court. My hours are flexible and much of my work is home-based.

In my free time, I love to travel, go to museums, play Scrabble, read, draw and paint. I keep fit by hiking, biking or jogging.

"Chris is extremely kind, generous and understanding. He is also very silly and blessed with a true talent for impersonations. Chris is probably brilliant but does not advertise the true extent of his intelligence. He is also multi-lingual, paints, and never gets lost. Finally, our nieces adore him, an endorsement for fatherhood that is unrivaled."
