Welcome to my site. I’m Chris, a master’s student studying Economics at Columbia University. I previously served as a helicopter pilot in the military and started this blog when I began working for a small non-profit recycling company in Haiti. I enjoy spending time with my wife, our families, and friends, reading, exercising, and renovating our Virginia Beach bed and breakfast. I love learning new things and plan to continue my education in development economics.

I’d love to hear your comments and your stories.
