Born and raised in Lexington, Chris moved to Charleston in 1996 to attend College of Charleston

cook at night and took a second day-job as a computer tech. Chris began freelancing as an IT

consultant in 2000 and ultimately started AEGISolutions, LLC that is in its 21 st year now.

Five years ago Chris and his wife, Siobhan, began looking for more of a country setting to live and

raise their son. They were thankful to get Deaglan into MSC. I have been heavily involved with the

school ever since; Chris is a previous board member, handles the school’s IT support, was awarded

MSC’s volunteer of the year, and ultimately the Erskine Charter’s volunteer of the year. He is

looking forward to continuing helping the school in a larger capacity, strengthening its foundation

for years to come.
