He truly loved the law, he says. But he quit a little early “because I wanted to live more than one life.” He moved to Aspen for five years with his wife, the portrait artist Hilary Cooper, skied a hundred days a year, lived the outdoor life . . . and wrote.Chris was born in Salem, Massachusetts, and grew up in Marblehead and Peabody.
