Christopher Arnett grew up in North and West Vancouver with his Canadian mother and Maori father. After his earlier career in the independent Vancouver music scene, Chris and his wife chose to raise their family on Salt Spring Island. He began graduate studies in order to combine his passions for writing and the histories of British Columbia and New Zealand.
