Chris Brinlee Jr

Strategic Communications Specialist

A professional polymath with a penchant for storytelling, Chris brings more than fifteen years’ experience in creative communications, visual design, and marketing strategy to Children of Vietnam. Hailing from the Savannah College of Art & Design (B.F.A. Advertising Design,) Chris began his career at advertising agencies in LA before breaking away to find deeper meaning in a wider world. His adventure travels have led him around the globe: paddling fjords of eastern Greenland in search of unclimbed alpine rock; summiting six-thousand meter peaks in Nepal; and riding motorcycles across Vietnam – all in a search for purpose. Little did he realize that what he was looking for lived inside all along. Author of Boldly Live, Chris now enjoys a more grounded life, spending weekends exploring the forests around Atlanta and camping with his dog, Apollo.
