Chris Foley grew up on Long Island as an only child in an Irish-Catholic family. He worked as a mediocre stockbroker in New York for twelve years until he got laid off in 2010. He loves to travel and collect a refrigerator magnet from every city he visits. He listens to heavy metal music, can play seven chords on his guitar, and has seen Metallica in concert over ten times. While living in New York, Chris met a very patient and loving woman from Kentucky. In 2016 they moved to Atlanta, where they now live with their sixteenth-month-old son and go to bed by 8:00pm.
