Chris Register is an explorer at heart. His life's journey has taken him through a thousand villages, towns, cities, rural communities, and wild places spread across several continents. He served in the Peace Corps, graduated Georgetown Law, and litigated cases in U.S. district court before cycling some 16,000 miles across the United States to connect with hundreds of everyday Americans from all 50 states and walks of life. His Conversations With US series now brings readers along on that eye-opening journey. Chris’s journey continues as he takes this modern American epic from pedal to print with his independent publishing company, Spoke & Word Books. He lives and writes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
