Curtis Hiller (a.k.a. “C-Check”): Web Designer and Reviewer
Curtis is a jack-of-all-trades: he manages the site’s design and does the serious, so-nerdy-you-get-paid-good-money-for-it coding that keeps the site looking first-day-of -school sharp.  He also writes the occasional book review, is literally the man behind the camera, and makes mean fajitas.  Outside of Publish Chicago, he works as the senior multimedia developer for Manning Productions.  He lives in a West Loop loft with his girlfriend.
