Chrichtian A. Neal was born the 8th of July 1979 in Monrovia. He defines Art as ‘Life’ and is a lover of “The Arts” in entirety. During his high school years, in addition to being a good science student, he published poetry on a weekly basis. Chrichtian also had a talent for calligraphy and upon graduation from high school, began working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a calligrapher. Later, away from Liberia, he began carving and painting in black and white. Soon his love for the arts would take on a different dimension as he went deeper into the world of Information Technology (IT) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), his fields of study. By mid 2002, he began working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a lifeguard at one of the world’s largest aqua parks, Dream Land. Due to socio-economic pressures and his quest to pursue higher education, he left the UAE for Ghana. He enrolled at the renowned IT educational center, NIIT (National Institute for Information Technology), and left with a certificate in e-Technology in 2004 along with a diploma in Information and Communication Technology, both earned in Accra. A year after, he returned to Liberia to help in every way possible to reconstruct his country. Since then, he has worked as an IT Trainer, IT/ICT Officer/Manager and IT Technician for entities and organizations such as MSF Holland, MSF Spain, MSF Switzerland, Medical Relief International (MERLIN), and NRC (Norwegian Refugee Council). With 9 years of growing knowledge in his chosen discipline, he hopes to further his education with a graduate degree in IT and ICT if given the resources and opportunity. He is single with a daughter to cherish, ChrichAnna E. Neal.
