Chris was first introduced to the specialized medium of fish printing in 1968 when he was a graduate student in fisheries biology. Since then he has continued to pursue his understanding of the printing process and the fish themselves. He was the Sea Grant Marine Fisheries Specialist at Davis in the Dept. of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation from 1972 until his switch to emeritus status in 2007. Chris has earned recognition worldwide for his mastery of both the direct and indirect methods of gyotaku. Goff Books recently published my 2017 book, A Life Among Fishes: The Art of Gyotaku.
