Chris Payne - Business Development & Strategic Communications

Chris Payne

Business Development & Strategic Communications

What I do:

Agency business development and strategic communications consulting. Public relations director, with competencies in media relations, political relations, government relations, community relations, crisis communications, internal/employee communications, and developing integrated communications campaigns. Chief copywriter. Client account and project management. A "Jack of Many Trades," a master of few.

Where I am originally from:

The Big Bang. (But my body was born in Houston, Texas.)

What are my hobbies:

Helping others. Writing. Reading. Music. Film. Art. Weight lifting. Running. Aikido. Taekwondo. Boxing. Painting. Love.

What are your quirks and idiosyncrasies:

Repetitive chanting and bizarre vocalizations. Fear and loathing of department stores and malls. Having the volume too high on my talking. Talking to myself and not caring if others hear me. I am very suspicious of men with toupees.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream:

Haggen Daz Dulce Leche.

What would you do if you won the lottery:

Relax a little.

What is your perfect day:

About 70-75 degrees and sunny, partly cloudy, with plenty of open territory to roam when I'm properly feeling my "mojo."

What is your most effective way of wasting time at work:

Text-messaging with my love. Facebookin'. Staring into space and contemplating what it all means, and what the next best thing to do is.

If you were to be on America's Most Wanted, what would it be for:

Impersonating Bigfoot. Exposing others as fellow extraterrestrials as I encroach too far into the Area 51 Red Zone.
