Chris is a native Californian who has made his home in Raleigh, North Carolina since June of 1974. After graduating from the University of California, Boalt Hall School of Law, in 1972 he served for a year and a half as a VISTA volunteer in Boise, Idaho Legal Services Office and thereafter worked as an Assistant Attorney General with the Idaho Attorney General's Office in its Tax Division. In 1974 he moved to North Carolina to take a position with the National Association of Attorneys General, headquartered in Raleigh, as its Consumer Protection Coordinator. After eighteen months, he left NAAG to establish a private practice of law.

In 1981 Chris and Bob Monroe founded a firm with two other attorneys, C. Edward Alexander and Jane S. Atkins which became the precursor to Monroe, Wyne & Wallace, P.A. Chris's primary areas of practice from the outset were residential and commercial real estate. In addition he advises homeowners' associations and prepares wills and advance care directives for clients who do not have estate tax planning concerns. In 1990 Chris was certified as a specialist in Real Property Law-Residential, Business, Commercial and Industrial Transactions by the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization.

In 1991 Chris married the former Sarah Mitchell Vann of Durham, North Carolina and as a result of their union he is the proud parent of two step-daughters, Jennie Vann Taylor and Sally Vann Taylor. The balance of the family consists of a 137 pound "pound puppy" named Willie, and three cats, Lucifer, Spook and Oswald. Chris was recognized in 1985 as Wake County Volunteer of the Year by the East Central Community Legal Services office for providing legal services to the poor. He is a member of the North Carolina State Bar Association, Real Property Section, and an active participant with Sarah as a volunteer with the Epilepsy Foundation of North Carolina.
