Chris Thomas grew up in the suburbs and spent his formative years camping, hiking, and studying music. For nearly a decade, he toured the U.S. performing at music festivals and working in capacities such as stage manager and speaker, giving talks on critical thinking and pseudoscience. After years of touring North America and Hawaii, he settled in Los Angeles for five years and underwent intensive culinary training at high-end restaurants and premium corporate catering facilities. He now spends most of his time in sunny Portugal playing music, seeking out culinary delights, and occasionally downing a craft beer or fancy cocktail.
