The oldest of five brothers to attend St. Mark’s, Chris lettered in crew as a coxswain in his II Form year and was a Prefect as a VI Former. He also worked as a counselor at Brantwood Camp.

Chris was a graduate of Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin and obtained his MBA from Columbia Business School. Chris also served in the U.S. Navy for two years. His business career included stints at several early tech companies including Diebold and the inception of Audible Books. Chris also worked with his father’s executive recruiting firm, William Stack Associates.

A loyal St. Marker, Chris served on the School’s Alumni Executive Committee from 1989 through 1992, and he was a member of the St. Mark’s Board of Trustees from 1990 through 1994. Chris was also a Class Agent for several years.

At his 25th St. Mark’s reunion in 1993, Chris led the effort to establish the endowed Class of 1968 V Form Fellowship program, which continues to provide opportunities for students to participate in an independent study project the summer before graduation.

Two Crisloid backgammon sets have been given to the School by members of the Class of 1968 in tribute to the enduring impact Chris made on the School, and in honor of his passion for backgammon which he shared with many of his classmates, family, and friends.
