Bio
Chris Cody is a finance professional, writer, and essayist whose work explores the intersections of identity, family, and the quiet forces that shape who we become. A storyteller at heart, Chris brings the same curiosity and precision to his writing that has defined his career in finance – finding the human truth beneath the surface of things.
When he's not at his desk, Chris can be found behind a camera or on a mountain. An avid snowboarder and photographer, he moves through the world with a eye for the moments most people miss – the kind that don't announce themselves but stay with you long after.
Chris is currently at work on his first memoir. His essays explore manhood, race, resilience, and what it means to build a life worthy of the people who sacrificed for yours.
He lives in New York with his wife and their soon-to-arrive son.
