My friends and colleagues call me Chappy. My family calls me Tuna. My birth certificate says Mark Chaput (pronounced Sheppy).

I was born and raised in metro Detroit, but have called LA home for nearly 15 years. I enjoy movies, a good record, photography & videography, seeing new places, spending time outdoors (especially the mountains), and a home cooked meal. I think all these things are connected in some way shape or form, and when enjoyed, can greatly enhance our human experience.
