Chris Piner

News Writer

While once serving in the United States Marine Corps, Chris Piner transitioned into the world of writing over a decade ago. Since his time as an entertainment writer, Chris has stumbled into the organized chaos of television, commercials, and online print. Finding his voice along the way, he used his passion for writing to create a career juggling words, deadlines, and the hunt for the perfect story. No matter the subject, Chris believes the truth is always hidden between the lines and hopes to share those stories no matter how bizarre they may seem.
