Chris and I first crossed paths while working at a local advertising and video production agency. Picture this: it's my first day at my first "real" job, and I'm waiting outside for the doors to open when I hear a loud engine pop behind me. I turn around, and there it is—Chris pulling up in his Audi TT. My first thought? "Oh boy, I wonder who this guy is..."

Later that day, I ran into some computer trouble and needed backup. Enter Chris, the go-to guy for all things photography, videography, and tech. He assumed I was just clueless with tech (spoiler: I wasn’t), but it turned out the computer was actually broken. Told you so, Chris!

We ended up chatting about cars—of course, I couldn’t resist poking fun at his Audi TT—but somehow, he still wanted to hang out with me.
