Christopher Lilienthal has been the Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (PBPC) since 2008. When he's not chained to his desk begging management for water and crumbs, Chris can be found throwing one son in the air, while the other one rides his back. He is a 1998 graduate of La Salle University and an alum of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. He later tried to erase any remaining trace of humanity by becoming a reporter - feeding the beast at newspapers in the Philadelphia region and for Capitolwire.com's state Capitol Bureau in Harrisburg. Ultimately, however, he couldn't stay away from the luxurious world of nonprofits. Chris advises senior staff at PBPC and the Keystone Research Center on communications strategy, writes and edits press materials and policy briefs, is a huge fan of Mad Men, 30 Rock and Fringe, and manages multiple web sites.
