Chris

Posted by on 23 Dec 2018

Chris Wegert is the co-founder of Aerial Aura, and has been working alongside Emily as her trapeze base and partner since 2014.  Both he and Emily have trained together under world-class coaches in Montreal, Canada, the self-billed “circus capital of the world.”  When not in the air, Chris works as an Account Executive for Microsoft, and manages his fledgling collection of real estate along Colorado’s Front Range.

After first meeting Chris several years ago, Emily noticed he seemed well-built and begged him to play trapeze with her.  Their aerial partnership soon took flight, followed shortly thereafter by a more romantic one. Aside from throwing Emily around, Chris enjoys being in the mountains, scuba diving, skiing, and collecting passport stamps from around the world (he recently acquired his 50th!).
