Christopher, also known as Chip to those of us who have had the pleasure of interacting with him. Has 20 years of experience in areas like retail, distribution, online presence and entertainment.
He is an excited storyteller who engages people in the most fascinating conversations, who has a natural talent of unconsciously imparting knowledge and experience to the younger team members.
He is the embodiment of one of his favorite phrases: ”Some men see things as they are and ask Why? I dream things that never were and ask Why Not? ”
He always exhibits a fascination with finding out how things work and I suppose that curiosity is what has always propelled him forward. He can never sit still.
Cyprus Comic Con has been the biggest outlet for that energy since it allows him to jump into so many different sectors and aspects of business and actually seeing a positive impact in the space around him, with new retailers and small businesses opening up due to what they have achieved inspires him to push the boundaries further.
His vision of giving people of all ages a community where they will be comfortable to expand their knowledge, explore their hobbies and a safe environment to be their true selves is always inspiring to young people who enter adulthood and start losing sight of their dreams and visions for the future with the struggles that come with being an adult.
In short, In today’s modern age of social media and glorified views of what life should be, Christopher imparts valuable business knowledge, provides a hospitable support system to all and encourages people to keep dreaming, hoping and pushing to make their dreams come true, all in an environment that supports, uplifts, accepts and promotes positivity!
In one phrase, Christopher is the machine that drives the Cyprus Comic Con, to be all about the community and people, not just about events.
