Kris was a long time resident of New Hampshire, growing up in Nashua and graduating from Nashua High School in 1982.

Kris graduated from Boston Architectural College and Wentworth Institute of Technology. He designed and built a home he loved in Bridgewater, NH and lived his life there welcoming friends with a door that was always open to all. He worked as an apprentice electrician around the lakes area for a number of years.

Kris enjoyed snowmobiling, NASCAR races, Bruins games, his cherished pets and visiting with many friends on Newfound Lake.
