Christopher Dobens

I grew up in Hamilton, New York, the home of Colgate University. I attended Northfield Mount Hermon preparatory school. And I did some time in Michigan, including four years of excess at Hillsdale College. Since then I’ve been a New Yorker, with the exception of a brief stint in Laguna Beach, California. For the past decade I’ve lived in the UpYor neighborhood of Manhattan. I have worked as a marketing and public relations professional for two decades and currently have my own consulting business. My hobbies include soccer, scuba diving, photography, writing, travel, and corrupting my nephews. It’s a charmed life.

Total Footblog – my soccer blog (a true passion)

Flickr – my collection of photos (another passion)

Facebook – semi-social networking

LinkedIn – semi-social networking for the unimaginative

Twitter – asocial networking

TheDobensChannel – YouTube amusement

The Burning Love Institute - a Webzine to which I occasionally contribute

“…the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’”
