About [email protected]

Chris' love of chocolate began long before the creation of The Art of Chocolate. His passion and desire to find the next amazing chocolate indulgence could not go unnoticed by those around him. It was no surprise when Chris retired from a 20+ year career in IT and followed his passion to pursue formal training and education in becoming a Chocolatier. Having trained at the Ecole Chocolat (Vancouver) and Callebaut (Belgium) academies, as well as working with some of the best artisan chocolatiers in North America, Chris and his wife Darcie are dedicated to making the world a bit sweeter. The Art of Chocolate is the culmination of exquisite taste, passion driven craft, and a commitment to excellence.
