CURRENT MISSION To move less. ABOUT ME Tory and Chris both grew up in suburban New Jersey, where everybody commutes to NYC. We are married (to each other), and like each other very much.After Tory studied Biology (at Haverford College) and Chris studied Furniture Design (at Rhode Island School of Design), we embarked on a year-long expedition of travel and learning, supported by Chris' Watson Fellowship. Since then we lived in Boston for two years, Hong Kong for a year, and now back to Boston since Summer 2012. PHILOSOPHY We're both Christians (the good kind).
