Previously Chris helped to establish a leading London-based online commentary magazine Unherd, and two think tanks: U.K. 2020 focused on improving environmental policy and global food security, and the Centre for Social Justice, which developed a welfare and poverty policy platform adopted by incoming Prime Minister Rt. Hon. David Cameron M.P.

His commentary has been published in USA Today, the Washington Examiner, The American Conservative, UnHerd, The Emigre and The Daily Telegraph. His interest in public policy was formed while working in faith-based non-profits working with the homeless, and with students seeking to improve their local communities in the UK.

He has a Masters in Political Sociology from the London School of Economics, and a Bachelors in Political Science from the University of London.
