He is currently completing a Masters degree in Management (Arts) at the University of South Australia. From 1996 to 2004, he worked as a volunteer classical music radio producer and as a freelance arts journalist. In 2002, the Helpmann Academy and Arts SA awarded him a lengthy mentorship with Dr Graham Strahle who writes for The Australian and The Adelaide Review. This led to regular work as a professional journalist writing feature articles regularly published by Arts Hub Australia, State of the Arts and the Australian Financial Review. Christopher also works as a business journalist writing about corporate social responsibility issues for Our Community and Deloitte Australia’s quarterly newsletter, Business Community Intelligence.
