About
Hi, I’m Chris. I'm CEO at Astronomic, a venture studio in Austin. I've built and sold several companies—an adtech platform (Grapevine), a non-profit incubator (Urban Engine), a venture studio (The Foundry), and an orthopedic SaaS company (MyPostOpCare).
I spent my teens and twenties making serious mistakes, but have spent the last 20 years fixing them—through therapy, sobriety, and consistent work on myself. That experience taught me something valuable: people can change, and the best way to prove it is through sustained action.
Today, I’m sober, healthy, and I've structured my life around people and work that matter. It's also why I'm focused on connecting entrepreneurs—I’m resilient, I know what it takes to rebuild, and I believe in helping others build from the ground up.
