Here is an introduction to Chris; he has been hunting fossils since he could walk. Saying that Chris has a passion for science is quite the understatement. Born in Midland, TX and raised all over from Ireland to Lousiana, he is a true dinosaur cowboy with a worldly charm. Chris has a degree in English and minor in History from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and began his museum career curating for what is now the Lafayette Science Museum. Soon thereafter, he was hired to build and curate new branches of the Houston Museum of Natural Science in The Woodlands and Sugarland, TX. During this time he made his first trips to Seymour, working with Dr. Bakker of the Houston Museum on excavations at the Craddock Ranch. Fortunately, the little town of Seymour got under his skin and his passion for the town and its people continues to grow alongside the success of Seymour's newest museum.
