About
Chris Theibert
Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Artist, Webmaster
Chris is the Picaso of Choonimals. His artistic talent comes from a nutritional regime of eating crayons and taking shots of paint before bedtime. In the beginning, he got yelled at for being too good at drawing the Choons, as they were initially made to look like they were drawn by a monkey with no head. Eventually his style caught on with the whole planet, and now he spends his days running shop in NYC with Chad watching nature shows, designing your Choon shirts, keeping the website on lock-down, and drawing Choonimals on all of Joe's old furniture. Oh, and he is a Social Networking Baller (SNB).
Matt Peters
CFO and Philanthropy Development
Matt, aka "the Smile Eater" has been busting the dreams of the other members and keeping it real since the beginning. He has a great knack of holding down the fort even from across the border where he currently lives in Mexico City. His favorite design program is Excel. He likes shirts and he likes charities so he has developed many great partnerships with organizations from Mexico to Africa allowing the Choonimals team to give back to others. Oh, and he drawled (Drew really spells like this) the very first Choonimal - a goat - and it wasn't meant to be bad... it just turned out that way.
Chad Long
Shipping/Logistics Director
Nickname: Chaditude (Chad+Attitude). You can find him either behind the wheel of the Choonimal Hearse, posted up at a Choonimal event, or cuddling with our shirts in the inventory room before he ships them off to their new homes, your backs. Since he has spent so much time counting, sorting, and has touched nearly every single shirt that has ever been printed or sold, he sheds a single tear into each package knowing it will surely find its destination and receive the same love from its new owners. When he's not choonin' you might catch him on a disc golf course, walking his dog Hurley, shreddin some mountain on his snowboard, or riding some gnar gnar wave on the shore - always wearing a choon shirt, and probably listening to music.
