Christopher Reilley

I am a long time prepress tech and print technology expert, now a father and poet.

I am a conglomeration of everything I have ever done, seen, felt, caused, experienced, observed and survived.

I have held many jobs in my life, from working in restaurants for over twenty years - both in front and in back of the house - I've been a freelance illustrator and designer, a print expert, a computer help technician, a door to door salesman, an on-air television face, producer, sign maker, delivery truck driver, stand up comic, and donut maker, but the best job I've ever had was as a father to my two lovely daughters.

I am socially and sexually color blind, fiscally conservative and socially liberal, a collector of both masks and comic books, and have recently begun taking better care of myself as a serious endeavor. I do all the cooking in my house, am an avid tabletop RP gamer, have acted in community and regional theater, and I know all the words to "If I Only Had a Brain".

Once upon a time, I developed the Book in Time print-on-demand work flow for Xerox, which eventually became the default for Bertelsmann, the largest book printer in the world.

I am the father of two gorgeous girls, husband to a wonderful wife who is more magical than I deserve, as well as WAY more organized than I am, and I am intensely curious about EVERYTHING!
