Chris Pearson was born in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. At the age of 3 his family relocated to Kimberley, British Columbia aka the Bavarian city of the Rockies – where Chris spent his formative years. A decent soccer player in his youth his career was cut short with the advent of the video game. In his high school years Chris studied martial arts and dreamed of being Steven Seagal or JCVD alas he was unable to achieve these lofty goals.
University
Chris attended Simon Fraser University initially as a criminology student but later switching faculties to Business Administration and graduated with his Bachelors degree and a Certificate in the Liberal Arts (this happens when you don’t plan your courses well). During his time at SFU the university was dominant in Women’s Basketball – yes that has nothing to do with him.
Adventures in Customer Service
What followed graduation was an exciting career in retail working for companies such as Futureshop, JYSK, Chapters and General Paint. Of note was his time spent as the Starbucks manager for Chapters Coquitlam with no real barista training. Working for General Paint in the role of Store Operations Assistant Coordinator Chris was able to travel to exotic locations such as Prince George BC, Lloydminster, AB and London ON. These trips would double his lifetime travel miles.
Web Design and Development
In early 2000′s Chris began working full time as a web developer for Most Home Corp. a real estate lead management company. This position lasted a few of years until Most Home began downsizing. Luckily a company in Calgary was looking for a web developer and Chris and his wife Laura moved to Cow Town. Where they welcomed their wonderful daughter Sophia.
Unfortunately a fickle real estate market lead to the demise of Chris’ Calgary employer and in 2009 Chris started his own company 22.04 Media. After a year of working in Calgary under his new moniker the family decided to return to the beautiful British Columbia and made their return to Maple Ridge where they live today. Upon his return to the lower mainland the Vancouver Canucks enjoyed their best regular season to date, and the Calgary Flames failed to make the playoffs (coincidence – I don’t think so).
