With over 18 years in the e-learning industry, he has led the design and launch of more than 1,000 custom online training courses. A former U.S. Marine officer, Christopher brings a systems-driven, no-nonsense approach to business and training operations.

Stop building your training—start managing it

Why in-house instructional design is often a waste of money

The hidden costs of bad LMS vendors and how to spot them
