I've lived a few lives. One of them, I forgot.
I've lived through thirty-below winters in a wall tent, raced sled dogs across Alaska, and built a company from nothing. Then one day, without warning, my memory went dark. This is where I tell the whole story.

The Day I Disremembered
Some memories shape us. Some disappear completely.
A memoir about identity, loss, survival, and the strange ways memory chooses what stays behind. From a childhood fractured by tragedy to the frozen trails of sled-dog racing, and a sudden episode of memory loss decades later, it's the story of a life shaped as much by absence as by experience.
Written under my birth name, which I'll share closer to release. Subscribers hear it first.
The documentary
Before the book, there was the film.
The award-winning short documentary The Day I Disremembered follows the episode of transient global amnesia that stopped me cold, and how fly fishing helped me find my way back.
"The fifteen minutes weren't near enough. This needs to be a novel. This needs to be a feature length film. Chris' story had me and left me wanting more of it. Beautiful story and amazing visuals to go with it."
Josh Stewart, known for Dutton Ranch, The Odyssey, Criminal Minds, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Collector films.
