I just found this info on a Google 'group' search: Here it is:

I knew Chris when I lived in Santa Barbara in the 70's and 80's. He did some
very nice work, but basically burned out and left the business by 1984 or
1985. Haven't heard his name since, until your posting.

He and Mike Celmins (Cielo) were the best framebuilders in town at that time,
with Chris King - yes that Chris King - doing some work in the framebuilding
area as well.
