Chris Bagg
Writer
Chris has been an actor, a cook, a teacher, a professional triathlete, a gym teacher for adults, and a writer. If he’s not reading a book, writing, or teaching other adults how to be better endurance athletes, you can find him riding a bike, cross-country skiing, cooking, or playing some kind of game. He has learned, at this point in life, that he is a jock-nerd and there is nothing wrong with that.
