Thank you for visiting my site.
I may know you already, but even if I don't, I'm really excited. I enjoy giving people tours.
Today, you are getting a tour of....ME (Chris Wechner).
Feel free to look around my website to learn about me, my thoughts, and what I might be able to do for you.
While I am more interested in discussing business things, for now, let me tell you a few personal things that you might not know about me and might possibly find to be interesting:
- My last name is pronounced WEK-nuhr. The first syllable rhymes with wreck...or heck!
- I was born and raised in the Chicago Area but not in the city.
- I lived in the Grand Rapids, Michigan Area a couple of times. I enjoyed it more the 2nd time. :)
- I was adopted. It did not occur to me that this was a big deal until I heard other people's responses. My parents did a good job of telling me as soon as I could talk, where many other parents wait until their kid gets old enough to become resentful.
- I really enjoy music, but I almost never understand the words. Therefore, I seldom know titles, artists, or song words. I am almost always playing music in my mind, and its NEVER out of tune THERE!
- I love trying new foods and restaurants (suggest a chain restaurants if you want to see me snore), but I have hate to wait at the restaurant BEFORE being seated. I am impatient about this, and I will leave. I also hate to pay extra for the restaurant's brand name--value means a lot to me. I will pay a little extra for a lot of extra quality taste.
- I will travel over an hour to get a great tasting doughnut or some other awesome desert. I am a little insane about this, but I know a whole lot of the BEST places.
- My favorite type of exercise is when I am walking or bicycling to check out a place that I have never seen before my ride/walk.
- I hate to exercise in front of people, but I will walk or bike in public.
- Though I do not want any of either, I absolutely adore (most) children and animals. Don't kill any bugs in front of me, especially defenseless ones. They may be ugly, but I feel really bad for them.
- Today I am a very good writer, but I did not learn how to do this until I became an adult.
- As a kid, I used to be ultra-competitive. I wanted to win everything. Today, I am only competitive with myself. I am often happier when other people win more than when I win.
- One of my favorite things to do is to show people something that is new to them and really cool for them. (i.e. a new place, a different restaurant, a new type of food, a cool book, a nifty website, etc.)
I will probably add to this list as I think of more things, but these might help give you a conversational springboard or two.
