Biography
Chris began working with Green Day during the Warning era as an audio engineer and worked on 2002's Shenanigans. Prior to that he started Nu-Tone Studios where he worked with independent bands as well as bands from Adeline Records and Lookout! Records. He's also a drummer and played for the band 'The Effection' on the 2003 album "Soundtrack To A Moment" which was released on Adeline Records.

Alongside his work as an audio engineer, Chris has been Green Day's photographer and videographer since 2004. He's been on tour with them since American Idiot and many of his photos are posted on GreenDay.com's "pics n vids" section after each show. His photos have also been used in the official Green Day calendars released each year.

Chris is credited on both of Green Day's live albums, Bullet in a Bible and Awesome As Fuck where he took many of the photos and did additional filming. He was also the director, photographer/videographer for the live "East Jesus Nowhere" music video, as well as other live videos released online after 21st Century Breakdown.

Chris works closely with the band to get the sounds we hear on Green Day albums as well as their side projects such as The Frustrators, Foxboro Hot Tubs, and The Network. If you're interested in reading about the work Chris did for 21st Century Breakdown, here's a great interview with him and Billie Joe for EQ Magazine.
