Bio and Interests: Christopher Parente

Christopher Parente — Sun, 18 May 2008 19:41:14 -0400

Originally from Connecticut, I’ve lived in the Washington DC area since 1993. Like many in the area, I spend a lot of time working — lucky for me I love the work I do in technology public relations. My firm is Strategic Communications Group, where our philosophy is great work for great clients. Check us out at www.gotostrategic.com.

When not working, I’m often found enjoying a new wine or doing some kind of upkeep on my cars — a 1999 M3 and a 2001 530. I hope something you read here makes you smile, think or comment.
