Mar 10, 2023 Season 3 Episode 5
Wojciech Milewski

Welcome back to another episode of "Getting to Know Your S.O."! Today, we are lucky to be joined (in more ways than you may think!) by local architect and composer, Chris Karpus. 

Transitioning to an architectural degree/career following his musical studies in college (2:00), Chris finds the time to do both today, in addition to running two non-profits with his wife, Amy (45:00), raising a family, being part of his church, and apparently even has time to rest (52:00)

Learn all about how his relationship with his faith and God have influenced his life and his music, how he has miraculously recovered from a cardiac arrest he suffered a few years ago (54:00), and how music still plays an important role in his life even though he has made a career as an architect today. For all that wonder how to make music a big part of your life but wish to pursue an alternate career choice, this is the podcast for you!
