Chris Totty actively pursues home projects for himself, as well as friends and neighbors, doing anything from big to small and outdoor to indoor. You could call him an "all-around handyman." Although he loves large projects with a big scope, he also enjoys working on small, detailed projects. Intricate tile work and finishes are a few of his favorite home improvement areas. With his projects, Chris uses many different media such as iron, ceramics, and exotic woods. A former model and actor who has appeared in numerous magazines and soap operas, Chris lives with his wife in North Carolina. They are restoring their second home and are expecting a new baby boy soon! When he's not pursuing home improvement, he enjoys volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Charlotte, surfing, and, of course, renovating and decorating homes. He is also in the process of designing a line of new fragrance lamps as well!
