Author, photographer, musician (and more) based in the Pacific Northwest. Visit my portfolio, Cascadia Oceanic, at www.chrismcnulty.net

I grew up on Long Island as the oldest of five, shaped by a family steeped in law, education, and Irish traditions. My journey took me from classical music training and teaching to a career in technology and marketing, with stops in New York, Boston, and now the Pacific Northwest, where I live with my partner Michelle and continue to explore creativity through photography, music, and travel. Along the way, I've raised three kids, coached baseball, worked with rescue dogs, and found joy in everything from hiking Mount Rainier to collecting ceramic Christmas villages
