As of May 1, 2006, Texas State Technical College Publishing gladly welcomed
Texas native Christopher Brent Wilson as the new publishing editor. Prior to
TSTC, Chris worked at the Waco Citizen newspaper as the sports editor. He
initially read about the job opening on the TSTC Web site. He continues to
write for the Waco Citizen and various online publications. Chris attended
Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls and received a bachelor's
degree in English. His typical day entails sitting and staring at a computer
screen, but he says the best part of the job, besides his co-workers, is
that he has his own bulletin board. Currently, he is editing three different
dental books and a hand tools book. He stays busy, but enjoys his new
workplace.
Originally from Olney, Texas, his family relocated to Waco in December of
2004. His younger sister, Cheryl, is a Baylor graduate. In March of 2003,
the Wilson family faced heartbreak when Chris' father, Carroll, passed away
from cancer. Six months later Chris wrote a book of humorous sports stories
in memory of his late father called Sports Briefs. His funny sports columns
can be found at his official Web site www.mybriefs.com.
Hands down, weekends are the highlight of the week for everyone. As for
Chris, his ideal weekend includes watching TV and sleeping. Sports are a
huge interest of his as well. He loves to play basketball and tennis. He
loves to watch football, and he loves to write about 'any sport, as long as
it's funny.'
Chris is engaged to be married July 1 to his fiancé, Piper Green, whom he
met in Waco a year ago. He was interviewing her for a story, and a few
months later they went out on their first date. When asked what he would do
if Mark Long gave him the week off, Chris said 'spend time finding a home.'
Computer graphics specialist Katherine Wilson shares an office with Chris
and said, 'We are the Wilson team' and that TSTC Publishing is lucky to him
come aboard.
