“Chris is excellent at reading a team’s dynamic and giving you not just what your group wants, but what it needs — always in a positive way. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and is incredibly dedicated.”

“Chris gets you out of your head and onto the floor by paying close attention to everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.
His feedback is thoughtful, supportive, and consistently helpful. Fun, challenging, and insightful.”
— Matt Schimkowitz

“Chris showed us multiple approaches to the fundamentals, bringing together elements of Annoyance, Second City, and UCB. He made UCB game mechanics simple and easy to understand. He coaches with positive feedback while still maintaining a rigorous atmosphere.”
