My name is Chris Baskind. I’m a writer, primarily concerned with the environment and simpler living. I’m a web developer, creating reader and publisher-friendly sites on the WordPress platform. I’m an advocate of carfree transportation, relying entirely on bicycles since June, 2009.

Three years ago, I launched Lighter Footstep, a pioneering website focused on greener, healthier, more affordable living. We were recently acquired by the Mother Nature Network (MNN).

I currently blog at More Minimal, a site dedicated to downsizing our lives — while upsizing happiness.

Before moving to web publishing and development, I was a successful radio broadcast programmer and on-air personality. I helped create winning stations and market groups in New Orleans, Memphis, Tallahassee, Mobile, and in my new hometown: Pensacola, Florida.

This site serves as a hub for my professional interests. You can use it to directly contact me, or to make a connection through one of the social media service icons on the left side of this page.
