Christopher Michael-Andrew Giles

CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL ANDREW GILES was welcomed into this world by his parents, Ms. Doris Barnes (Giles) Green, and Mr. Michael R. Giles, on March 22, 1983. He was loved and nurtured by his immediate family, and his extended Barnes family. As a bright and talented child, he excelled throughout his elementary and middle school years in Houston ISD, and graduated from Eisenhower High School (Aldine ISD) as a member of the class of 2002. After high school, Chris furthered his education at Lone Star Community College, but was eventually drawn into the music industry, as he was talented in singing, composing, and the business management aspect of the music world.  Chris, along with other close friends and musicians, formed a vocal group called “Proof”, for which he and friends Jeremy, Brian and T.J. spend countless hours rehearsing, and singing at local engagements.  The practice paid off when the group was featured on the popular tv program “106 and Park”.  As time went on, his interests in music remained, as evidenced by his opening of a studio production company called Electric Dinosaurs.   At the studio, Chris focused on vocal arranging.  Within the past five years, his interests turned more towards entrepreneurship via online businesses.  He established several ventures, including Paintelligent, Pinnacle Bridge Solutions, Elevated Technologies, and more recently, COMPUtelligent IT Solutions, through which he purchased and sold professional grade IT equipment.  It was under COMPUtelligent IT Solutions that he consolidated all of his online and technology businesses.  His most recent venture was Retro Rig Entertainment Systems, where he outsourced components, and constructed gaming consoles that consisted of over 64,000 games, plus 28 retro gaming systems. Within his family, Christopher's Christian training began in the home with the teachings of his mother, his Aunt Marilyn, his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Barnes, and other extended family members. His Christian training continued throughout his childhood. He grew up spiritually at Eighth Street Church of God in Christ, where he sang in the Sunshine Band Choir, and occasionally played the drums.  When his family joined North Main Church of God in Christ, he continued to be instructed in the Word,  While at North Main, At North Main COGIC, Chris participated in Sunshine Band activities and participated in the Youth Department Choir, and the Junior Usher Board.  He professed Christ as his Lord and Savior as a youth.
