Christopher Cooper
Chris has 15 years experience writing reports and consulting for clients in the consumer and pharmaceutical industries, and began freelancing so he could write about topics that are more interesting to him.
He has traveled extensively in the US and to four continents, with extended stays in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan. Chris has had the pleasure of awakening to bear tracks beside his sleeping bag in Yosemite and lion paw prints outside his tent in Botswana.
His passion for wine has taken him to many of the world's well-known wine regions and to part-time work at a winery where he does everything from picking grapes to hosting wine tastings.
Chris is also an accomplished distance runner who never fails to pack his running gear when he travels. He is currently putting the final touches on his running novel.
