Chris Chan’s Bio
Chris Chan was born on February 24, 1982, in Virginia, USA, to his parents Robert and Barbara Chandler. Very little is known as regards to the childhood of Chris, owing to the fact that he barely talks about it. As per his autistic nature, it might interest you to know that the foundation of autism in his life was laid at a very tender age when his babysitter locked him up so as to get him to behave accordingly. At the age of seven, he was diagnosed as autistic by doctors, owing to his inability to speak.
During his time in high school, Chris Chann was addicted to playing video games and reading scary novels; an obsession that inspired him to start writing comics. Upon graduation from high school, he enrolled into Piedmont Virginia Community College where he studied Computer Aided Drafting and Designs. In 2004 (while he was still in college), Chris was suspended for a year for being a public nuisance by loitering and soliciting for sex from female students in the school all in a quest to get a girlfriend. At the end of his suspension, he returned to complete his studies and eventually graduated in 2006 with an associate degree.
Fresh out of college, one might expect Chris Chann to try carving a career for himself in the field of graphic design but the reverse was the case. As a matter of fact, he invested all his time to get a girlfriend. His zeal and dedication to this target led him to compete in Parappa the Rapper Contest with the hopes that he will be able to attract females with the prizes. The show didn’t turn out a success as Chris would have expected. Nevertheless, it inspired him to create a comic which revolved around his ill-luck when it comes to relationships. As a YouTuber, Chris Chan is best known for his page CWCvilleguard in which he has amassed a total of 36.9K loyal subscribers.
